Is it bad that I can’t tell whether 4 billion chickens is an exaggeration?

I think its more a comment about having the police resources to go kill some guys squirrel but not deal with other shit. But at the end of the day its one squirrel the Superbowl kills 4billion chickens just for wings.

according to the National chicken council (glad I get to say that), that isn’t exaggeration.
Americans are eating 1.4 billion wings, and there are a few hundred million people all making individual grocerydecisions; there’s not some big super Bowl robot that goes around murdering chickens, regardless of how cool an episode of Aqua teen hunger Force that would be.

I can’t seem to find The National Chicken Council’s 2024 Wing Report to view how they counted a wing. The wing of a chicken consists of 2 muscle groups which are usually divided and sold as ‘wings.’ Each chicken would (usually) have 4 such wings; meaning it’s only 362.5 million chickens. Even if they’re counting whole wings it’s only 725 million chickens. 4 billion does seem to be an exaggeration.

Superb Owls kill squirrels too. Not just chickens.
