Pumping antibiotics into cattle standing knee deep in feces and urine

I'm no veggie, but I eat a lot less meat than I used to.
I'm too lazy to hunt anymore, so I buy locally grown grassfed
beef instead. It costs twice as much, but it sure is good.

However, as someone else already pointed out--all that grass sucks
the water out of the rivers, at an alarming rate.

I think the root problem is too damn many people.
The planet was better off 50 years ago, where the primary
difference is fewer humans then and so many more now.
Humans have become a destructive pestilence on the face of the earth.
