26 Biggest US Landowners & Their Cattle Ranches, Deforesting Operations, Fossil Fuels

26 Biggest US Landowners: Cattle Killers, Tree Fellers, Oil Polluters


Every single person on the list (from 26th biggest US landowner to 1st) is involved in cattle killing, tree felling,
oil and gas pollution or breeding for zoos. Cattle killing is a major cause of climate change, animal agony, many human diseases, energy waste, water waste, world hunger.. These people have the power to change the world for the better. May legislatures,
other people, and their own consciousness cause them to become part of the solution instead of part of the problem. People selling deforested tree lumber often say they plant trees in return. Planting tiny saplings does only an infinitesimal fraction of the good done by removal of centenarian or even millennial trees
