Did you know that raising cows and other animals are destroying the ecosystem? Me neither , until i watched the movie “ Cowspiracy “. Cowspiracy taught viewers that animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution, and habitat destruction. All of which are destroying our ecosystem. Animal agriculture contributes to species extinction in many ways. In addition to the monumental habitat destruction caused by clearing forests and converting land to grow feed crops and for animal grazing, predators and "competition" species are frequently targeted and hunted because of a perceived threat to livestock profits. The widespread use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers used in the production of feed crops often interferes with the reproductive systems of animals and poison waterways. The overexploitation of wild species through commercial fishing, bushmeat trade as well as animal agriculture’s impact on climate change, all contribute to global depletion of species and resources.
