SFVegan.org has developed a widget which displays the number of animals killed world-wide by the meat, dairy and egg industries.
The counter is based on 2004 statistics from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the resulting data tables and methodology used in creating them have been detailed in the Worldwide Animal Slaughter Statistics document.
Even though the data comes from 2004, the Animal Kill Counter offers a compelling visual representation of just how many animals die every second (one can only imagine the figures have gone up since then, not down).
Not only can you embed it in your blog, you can also add it to your profile in Facebook or Myspace.
Update: Crediting Vegan Soapbox for bringing this to our attention by displaying it on their site.
Hi, i’ve tried getting this widget using the link you provided and the link attached to the widget itself and i get nothing but adds, i was wondering if you could give me the code for it.
A working, and easy to implement, version of the animal kill counter as seen below can be found here.
Hope this helps
