The meat of 6 billions chicks was needed to feed domestic reptiles?
Assuming they weight around 30 grams it's ~1,800,000 tons of meat
That's a lot of meat, I didn't know people kept so many reptiles in their homes.
p.s. 1,800,000 tons of meat could feed 180,000,000 people in Africa for a year (assuming an average in North and Central Africa of 10kg/person/year which is optimistic for some of the countries there).
It's astonishing how much food we waste for silly reasons.
