The following Statement is quoted from the Natural Resources Defense Council
"Giant livestock farms, which can house hundreds of thousands of pigs, chickens, or cows, produce vast amounts of waste --
often generating the waste equivalent of a small city. While a problem of this nature -- and scale -- sounds almost comical,
pollution from livestock farms seriously threatens humans, fish and ecosystems."
