  10. According to the Census, 93% of the 70 million hogs in the US live of farms of 1,000 or more. The EPA says 750 = a medium size factory farm.
  11. Wow: In 1978, 32 thousand American farms produced 3 billion chickens. In 2008, 27 thousand farms produced almost 9 billion chickens.
  12. 97% of the 9,675,561,000 animals slaughtered in the US in 2008 were poultry.
