Cattle

Did you know the cattle industry is largely responsible for endangering African elehants, and rain forest deforestation, specifically in South America? Here's how it works. Cattle ranching requires land for cattle to roam and graze. It also requires land for food to be grown for the cattle to eat, usually soybeans because they're cheap and easy. This means agriculture, which requires water. Enter the African elephant. They have plenty of space left, but it's all dry desert. Less water for elephants means fewer elephants. In South America it is not watered land for elephants that is being developed for ranchers and farmers, but rain forest. At one time it was this beef that was used in Macdonald's all over the world.
