    About 900,000 cows are slaughtered every day. If every cow was 2 meters long, and they all walked right behind each other, this line of cows would stretch for 1800 kilometers. This represents the number of cows slaughtered every day.

      1800km/24hr is 75kph or about 45mph. Imagine a unending line of cows traveling about 45mph into a giant meat grinder.
