Re: Where is there more livestock than people?
#2I live beside one of the "more pigs than people" counties; pretty sure that the bulk of the pig count is one farm (with several contract barns). At least in theory, there's one person who can say those are his pigs.
I'd be tempted to train them, arm them, declare the county the Free Porcine State.

#3It would be nice to repeat the maps using weight. The weight of a cow is like 700Kg (1500 pounds) and the weight of a chicken is like 3Kg (6 pounds). So a cow is like 250 chickens. (Can someone with CGI abilities make a gros image of a cow made of 250 chickens?)

#4I was surprised the lack if sheep areas. Is lamb not a popular meat in USA?
Just looked up wool production and didn't realise how much Australia produces: https://blog.bizvibe.com/blog/textiles-and-garments/top-10-l...

Or emissions (methane?). Iirc, sheep have the most emissions per pound.

It’s too hot for them in most of the agricultural centers in the USA. Plenty of goats though.

It’s not exactly rare, but it’s far less popular than beef, pork, or chicken.

Why stop at pigs? Why not free all of the animals at the animal farm? Are some animals more equal than others? ;)

Or the ratio of animal weight to human weight per county…
