I wanted to write about animal waste because it sounded interesting so I decided to write about it.But later on,I learned that animal waste was deadly,so that gave me a chance to let me tell people that they should pick up their pets manure and make a change in the world so they will stop polluting our water.I also think it is gross,so I wrote about it because I want people to live in our world and not suffer all that disgusting water so they will live and enjoy the rest of their life.
Why Animal Waste is Bad for Water
by Jack Williams
You are at the beach and it is perfectly normal.Then,out of nowhere,a disgusting smell fills the air. You walk,and then your feet feel something wet and squishy.You look below you.That is manure (mun-oh-er)and pee.Then it washes into the ocean.Then after a few minutes,a dead fish washes onto the shore.What could have killed it?Animal waste,that is what!
What is manure and urine?
Manure,aka,”poop”,is a solid that is made up of leftover food from your stomach.It goes down your digestive system,and leaves your body through your rear end.Pee is a type of acid that can be yellow or clear.Pee is also the leftover water that you drink.
Why does manure and urine wash into our water sources?
Humans are not responsible for their pets and are not being aware of the waste because pets also go pee and poop.And pets are not the only problem.Wild animals such as cows,pigs,horses,lions,and other animals need to have some help from us humans beca///use they let out their waste too.
How does animal waste make living things sick?
Animal manure and pee are both toxic and will make us sick and die.Manure has bacteria,which can kill you very fast.There is other manure and pee we need to be aware of that has bacteria.It is also bad because it sends people to the hospital.It can also kill us.Also, if kids and babies and toddlers drink it,they can die in minutes.
How long has animal waste polluted our water?
This problem has been happening for so long,that it might have been happening since the nineteen hundreds!That is a long time huh? If it has been happening that long,then it must have gotten more dangerous by a lot.
How can we help?
Even though animal manure washes into our waterways and goes into our water,there are ways to help.One way is to clean up after your pets.You can also try to ask farmers to clean up after their farm animals waste and animal waste on the ground.There are so many ways you can help protect our water.
