UK.
The total number of animals killed in British slaughterhouses in 2011 was over 958 million.
This included 8.5 million pigs, nearly 15 million sheep, 17 million turkeys, 15 million ducks, over 931 million chickens and 2.8 million cattle

cube root of 2.8million=140

assume a cow is 1.5meters high, the the symbolic cow would be 210meters tall.

Big Ben is 96 meters tall.

Therefore:

is that right?

One could do the same with the Statue of Liberty..

Not sure what it all means.....:???:now I come to think about it.....
 
At first glance, I thought your answer was 140 meters. I posted my math but retracted it because I re-read your post and realized that your actual answer was 210 meters. My math came up with 211.419 meters, which is pretty much the same.
 
Jeebus!

That is 30 animals being slaughtered every single second of every single day, just in the UK.

Equivalent to every single person in the UK killing an animal every 23 days.
 
958 million per year ? ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't get my head around that figure. I think that the world has gone meat crazy.:(
