The film takes a hard-hitting look at the various ways in which animal agriculture contributes to environmental destruction. For instance, the production of meat and dairy products requires vast amounts of land, water, and energy, all of which have a significant impact on the environment. The film also explores the role of animal agriculture in deforestation, habitat destruction, and species extinction. | The film takes a hard-hitting look at the various ways in which animal agriculture contributes to environmental destruction.
