There are 940 million cows on Earth and around 1 billion pigs. The average pig eats about 5-7 pounds daily and is fed around 2 times a day. A cow can eat 50-100 pounds of dry hay per day. About 900,000 cows are slaughtered daily, and about 3.8 million pigs are killed daily. With that information, would you rather be a cow or a pig?

Pigs are some of the smartest barn animals, and some people keep them as pets.
