I saw metrics like this a while ago but it’s still hard to wrap my head around. We rarely see this enormous portion of the animals that outnumber us so much.

I grew up on a farm in the rural western US, and our few cattle lived in nice little fields like you’d imagine, but I’d occasionally go by intensive farms and you can see how they pack so many animals into such a small space that they spend their whole lives in. It’s so near but so far from all of us. And the reactions from people I know varies widely to this information or these sights.
