We’re still debating this internally, right now the idea is that we think it gives a better comparison overview between land and ocean statistics, and more importantly, gives more weight towards showing how many individuals are being slaughtered just in the fish industry alone.
If we combine those numbers, folks that are not as familiar about these industries (as we may be), may potentially assume that the majority included in that statistic are land animals. We still might change how we show this, but for now as a quick update this seemed appropriate.
Of course, if you have any feedback, we’re very open to that and appreciate it!
Love this site!
Not sure why you wouldn’t just add the fish number in the top-line figure though? Reads a bit odd that it is separated.
Thanks Jack!
