Ah, yeah, I’ve heard similar numbers before, so while it’s still always a bit of a surprise when I see another such number, I kind of expect to be surprised. 🙃
Another set of numbers from a presentation I watched earlier is that in 2023, Germany (with our ~80 million citizens) slaughtered:
47.9 million pigs, cows, sheep, goats and horses.
702.2 million chicken, turkeys and ducks.
I don’t know, how much of that is being exported, but it still feels like we’re eating our own weight in meat every year, which probably fits in with that biomass number.
All y’all talking about ants…our livestock weighs more than us. Thats insane to me.

As source, it lists our Federal Statistical Office, so that should be this data: https://www-genesis.destatis.de/genesis/online?language=en&sequenz=tabelleErgebnis&selectionname=41331-0001
