Your link didn't work for me F-S but copy and pasting it did. That was an interesting challenge. I got 13 including the top 5 right. Numbers 6 and 7 blew me away if they are correct - would never have guessed them in a million years.

Of those 185,180,000 cattle in India I wonder how many are eaten or do the majority just eat and defecate for most of their lives seeing as cattle are worshiped my a good many people there.

I couldn't but have wrote them down and I might have a chance in the future. Pretty fascinating fs, thanks. Do India's cows count being as they are protected and worshiped? I also wonder what percentage are Dairy compared to beef.

I would think beef consumption in India is still substantial. Despite over 80% of the population being Hindu (non-beef eating)there are still over 140 million Muslims who presumably could all eat beef. Just think of that - less than 20% of their population being 140 million which is still better than four times Canadas population!

Still staggered that Ethiopia and Sudan each have 3 times the cattle population of Canada and that Canada at #20 is only two places above Myanmar(Burma)where i'm thinking they must be counting the water buffalo also.
