I knew it. If you think modern industry is bad, it's 100000000x worse in nature. It is conservatively estimated that many quintillions of animals are killed by other animals in the wild each year.

Try using reason and logic rather than mindless emotions.

I think your estimate might be off by a factor of a few million.

So every year a quarter of all animals die?

Where are you getting your information?


Well, not sure where they're getting their numbers from but a lot of animals (Ants/Flys) have very short lifespans so if there's 10,000 trillion ants I could easily see more than 0.005 quadrillion ants deaths a year (but not more than 0.06 quadrillion for ants).
