What is happening to our pets?

One group that is affected by tracking just as much, if not more, than humans is the animals. No matter how bad people are effected by it the animals suffer more. They do not have a voice to file law suits, or call 1-800 numbers. They can't drive to stores to buy water. They drink out of the streams, the streams they have been drinking out of with no problem since the beginning of time. Humans are taking those animals rights; wild and domesticated. Another issue for the animals is that although many people might do their best to supply clean water to their pets they may not be able too. The water tanks that many people buy to import clean water can cost thousands of dollars, dollars they may not be able to spend on their pets rather than themselves.

In the documentary one family struggled to take care of their cat who was projectile vomiting and losing hair. When the family reported that to the oil company they said the cat probably just got into some chemicals or something else outside that had nothing to do with them. Their cat has never gone outside.

When the farmer in the documentary raised livestock for a living. He said all the cows coats were matted and were losing their hair quickly. The female cows were not mating as much as they had in the past which is mostly caused by a hormonal change due to the toxins in the water. The calves they were having were weaker and smaller than ever before. This all started after the wells were put in and poisoning the water. A study by two Cornell University researchers indicates the process of hydraulic fracturing deep shale to release natural gas may be linked to shortened lifespan and reduced or mutated reproduction in cattle—and maybe humans. Unfortunately cattle are kept in a confined controlled area on the farmers land which is being fracked left and right.
