The animal industries can damage the condition of water because of the discharge of substance such as nitrogen and phosphorus, nutrients and pathogens coming from the waste of the animals to the waterways and groundwater. It transmit ammonia that add to acid rain and the ecosystem's acidification. Methane is also being transmitted by animals. Animal industries is one of the reason for greenhouse gas emission worlwide that has an effect of the degeneration of the environment. There is a significant increase in water pollution, air pollution, greenhouse gases, deforestation, global warming, erosion, and human obesity because of animal industries.
