One of the many environmental problems associated with farming animals is the waste they produce. When small-scale farming produced small amounts of slurry, it could be applied to the land as fertiliser. Now that there are billions of farmed animals on the planet[1]<\/a><\/sup>, the amounts produced are gargantuan, and it cannot easily be disposed of. Instead, this fermenting manure is stored in immense tanks and \u2018lagoons\u2019, from where it all too often leaks out.<\/p>\n

Once in the waterways, it causes devastation to aquatic wildlife. Tens of thousands of miles of rivers in the US, Europe and Asia are polluted with slurry each year.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

When slurry, along with other agricultural pollutants such as nitrogen compounds and fertilisers, pour into the waterways, they stimulate an overgrowth of algae which then decomposes. This reduces the oxygen in the water, causing marine life to flee or die.<\/a>[1]<\/sup> In the most serious cases, it creates dead zones \u2013 vast areas of water that contain low or no oxygen. Animals who live there usually suffocate to death.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Ocean dead zones with zero oxygen have quadrupled in size since 1950.[5]<\/a><\/sup> The largest \u2013 in the Arabian Sea \u2013 is said to be the size of Florida, and researchers believe that agricultural runoff is responsible.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Environmentalists drawing attention to another huge dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico point the finger squarely at the meat industry.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\nPhoto courtesy of eutrophication & hypoxia, re-used under a Creative Commons licence.\n

Slurry kills people, too<\/h3>\n

Every year, farm workers die from drowning in slurry tanks or from inhaling the toxic gases they emit. And it\u2019s not just farm workers whose health is affected by animal waste. A Dutch study found that people living close to several animal farms have weaker lung function.[8]<\/a><\/sup> Researchers at the University of Utrecht reported that the biggest contribution to deaths linked with air pollution in Europe actually comes from agriculture, not roads.<\/p>\n

For the sake of people, animals and oceans, we must stop eating meat.<\/p>\n
