Besides depleting the ocean’s supply of fish for those animals normally feeding on them, the factory farming of cattle, pigs and chickens uses excessive water and pollutes our land.

Focusing… Cattle Egrets ! These events took place in September 2010, before the Arab Spring, so due to security reasons, someone might ask would I go to Egypt now?
