Cattle
According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, cattle farming is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gases. Cattle emit a large volume of methane through burping and flatulence. Cattle ranching is also a major source of deforestation around the world, most notably in South America's Amazon rain forest. Driven by the growing food demands of an expanding human population, cattle in many regions of the world are overgrazing, reducing biodiversity of the ecosystem in the process.

Did you get your facts right about deforestation of the Amazon due to cattle ranching? NOT. You had better research all your statements prior to making them.
Got milk today! Are you really talking about deforestaion in South America's Amazon rain forest. I thought we were the responsible for this...Shame
humans should be included
It would seem that when they showed the mirror, they were pointing at humans, specifically cars.
this is crazy...what about all the bison tht roamed the US and 'carpeted' the land? therer aren't that many cows
if it werent for cows we wouldnt have milk!
More PETA-inspired bull muffins.
teehee....they are worried about the environment because cows toot too much.
SO F**KING CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:DDDD
F**k what they say i love cattle to death! :D
stop blaming these animals...if the population of humans and the out of control industry wasn't a problem, neither would these animals be
nobody blamed the cow. its our raisng and over breeding of the cow.
...eat a cow!
If we didn't have cows their would be no such thing as milk and hamburgers. So that would mean no McDonalds. Farmers wouldn't make as much money. And what the heck do cows have to do with deforestation? And so what. They burp. Everyone does. Global Warming and pollution is more in our category, as Brett said. COWS ARE BEAST. PERIOD.
It is ridiculous to blame on these animals - how about humans?
It's absurd to blame this on the cattle. Isn't this damage more appropriately placed under the 'human' category?
