Saying “PETA kills dogs” to defend the meat industry is just a scale mismatch. PETA euthanizes a few thousand mostly sick or unadoptable animals. The meat and dairy industry breeds and kills billions of animals every year—many of whom are unhealthy because they’re bred for extreme production. Even if you dislike PETA, it’s not remotely comparable.

there are only about 1.5 billion cattle in the world. why would you lie about something so easy to find the truth

They said animals, not limiting the number to cattle.
This Article provides a breakdown of the 2022 numbers for slaughtered animals based on this source from the United Nations.
So, in this case, the person to whom you are responding is correct.
