> "Cats kill about 20-55% of the entire US bird population every single year. Somewhere between 1.3B and 4B birds per year in the US alone."

Humans eat 8 Billion chickens per year in the US alone: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22287530/chicken-beef-fac...

Some 15 MegaKilos of chicken: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/chicken-c...

Those are domestic chickens. Cats kill wild birds. Does that make sense?
