2. How many chicken do you need? The number of the chickens here are consumed in America in one year time. Many of these prepared for your table will become waste in the very lands that produce the chickens you have eaten and are feeding to your family.
3. Progressive Increase Animal factory farming contributes to consumption of freshwater and fossil fuels which alone with methane, and CO2 emissions from decomposing feces and impacts global climate changes more than one quarter of total freshwater.
4. Livestock Environment And Development Livestock industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation worldwide and the modernizing of raising animals for food contributes on a “massive scale” to the AIR and WATER with pollution
5. PETA Scottish salmon farm: To increase Bottom line (to increase fish supplies) fish farmers cram as many fish as possible into small enclosures alone with the injuries of the fish –parasitic infestations, and diseases are common. To keep fish from dying in these horrible conditions farmer lace their food with powerful chemical and antibiotics and you ingest when you are eating your favorite fish.

7. Modern Farming Uses Water Supplies Irrigation pumps withdraw more water than the local governments Seven-five percent of water usage goes to farming for factory-farms Deficit 475 billion gallons a year Defatting process waste water Increases water waste Scalding tanks contain blood dirt and manure eight liters of waste water per bird from the overflow
10. Environmental waste Blood and tissue produced from hide removal fall on the floor –External contamination of the hide with dirt and manure is secondary source of pollutants waste load, is increased with clean-up operations: water trough's, rain. snow water and pen wash downs.
11. Live stock Increasingly Serious Large –scale live stock operations provide most of the meat and meat products consumed around the world—consumption that is growing at a record pace and is projected to double by 2050 Professor Harold Mooney of biological science at Stanford.
12. Biological Diversity Variability among living organisms from all sources including diversity within species between species and of ecosystems(biodiversity) Seeing a tremendous environmental problems with these operations land degradation, air and water pollution to the loss of biodiversity and the developing world is vulnerable to the effects of these operations
13. Environmental Impact “A new study in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics explores the effects of pollution from livestock facilities on infant health and finds that production is associated with an increase in infant mortality.”
