To put this in perspective, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 60 billion animals are killed each year for human consumption – the equivalent of about nine animals for each human being on the planet. If we take Mood’s lower estimate of one trillion, the comparable figure for fish is 150.
可以侧面印证这一点的则是联合国粮农组织的估计数字，大概每年有600亿动物被屠杀以满足人类的消费需要——大概每人要夺去9只动物的生命。如果我们只采纳穆德的最低估计（1万亿）的话，每个人都要消费150条鱼。这还不包括那些被非法捕捞，被渔民抛弃的低经济价值鱼类，以及被用作诱饵的鱼类。
