How do you kill an estimate??
(It is estimated that . . . . . . are killed . . . . ) There are several other options using verb forms. I'm trying to think of an acceptable one using the noun. - A.
Edit. An estimate from Greenpeace suggests that 71 million etc.
Of course you may use the adjective: An estimated 71 million etc.

How about "an estimated 7 millions are killed ...?0
Yes, absolutely.
In the US, I think we use "7 million are killed." It seems like I've heard "7 millions" used in referring to money, where "dollars" is not used.
