Land-use change caused by the dairy industry is a major contributor to climate change. Forests are converted into grazing pastures for cattle, which release carbon-trapping gases like methane, and are reared for water-intensive products like milk and beef.

If Animals Protested Human-Caused Climate Change
Orangutans
Orangutans hold a demonstration protesting habitat loss caused by palm oil plantations. The industry is responsible for large-scale tropical deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and even human-rights conflicts.
Polar bears
Polar bears congregate in Alaska to remind us of our net-zero commitments. At the current rate of carbon emissions, the world is set to blow past its Paris Agreement target of a 1.5°C global warming above pre-industrial levels.
Otters
This is what it'd look like if sea otters protested oil spills in their habitat, at least according to META AI anyway. Emissions by just 57 oil, coal, gas and cement companies account for 80% of the human-caused CO2 addition to the atmosphere since the 2016 Paris Agreement.
Penguins
Emperor penguins storm an Antarctic research facility to draw attention to the disappearing sea ice. The species, which breeds, feeds and raises its young in this habitat, could lose over 90% of its colonies to global warming by 2100.
Dairy animals
Land-use change caused by the dairy industry is a major contributor to climate change. Forests are converted into grazing pastures for cattle, which release carbon-trapping gasses like methane, and are reared for water-intensive products like milk and beef.
