    Yes. Animals drink. They also pee, providing nitrogen fertiliser. It’s even worse when they are raised on a meadow instead of in a barn as then you have rainfall, which percolates.

    Never trust a statistic you didn’t fudge yourself.

      Don’t forget all the water used to grow their food.

      Like 70% of all our crops are grown to feed our livestock.

        Have you ever thought about the massive water usage of international shipping?

        No I’m serious. People complain about animal agriculture and then want herds of rowing bisons back. I’m actually not opposed to that either but that doesn’t mean that there will be less animals eating less plants. And if we don’t eat them then other predators will.
