Which animals, birds, etc. are we'consuming' the most?
Many of the products that we cluelessly think are vegetarian and use (externally) or consume (internally), may
contain any of the below generally used animals, birds, insects, etc. in it,
Cats, Cows, Dogs, Ducks, Eggs, Fishes (even sharks, whales), Geese, Hogs, Horses, Insects (many types of), Lobster, Marine mammals, Oyster, Pigs, Prawn, Sheep, Shellfish, Shrimp, and many others
An unthought-of reality
For the 7 Billion humans, far more than 150 Billion animals, birds, etc. are killed EACH YEAR (Source: http://www.adaptt.org) (150 billion does not include other millions killed for various researches). Making on an average for every person (knowingly or knowingly, directly or indirectly related or responsible) the killings of 21.5 Billion of these creatures each year. Considering an average age of a person to be 65 years, killings of 1.4 Trillion of these living creatures happen in one lifetime of each person on an average through use of various products and consumption in different forms. And these does not include the innumerable bees and various other insects. So for every single lifetime of 7 billion human lives, there can be about 9,800,000,000,000,000,000,000 animals, birds, etc. killed. There are millions more killed each year for various researches. These are minimum currently, and growing, because population is growing and our use of various such products are growing, possibly due to lifestyle changes and massive marketing of such products by large companies (and generating desire to purchase things that we may not even need, for their profit). Other than killing live 'creatures' for non-living product 'creation', we all also happen to kill various forms of creatures in too many different ways in our day-to-day life other than above types of 'consumptions'.

It has also nothing to do with those eating non-veg or being vegetarian or vegan, but is just for understanding and knowledge or its possible long term effect on our mother Earth.
