That's the point.
Europeans cows eat brazilian soya.
This is just insane...
We all know about BP disaster. But how many have been told about 60 years of oil slicks in the Amazon ?... They turned it into a giant sewer. They burned oil wastes without any precautions, poisonning atmosphere, creating black rains.
Ok.
We can say : Amazon is a so wild area, a thick native forest.
It must be damn hard to keep a check on the installations.
We had an oil slick in France, one year ago. Not in the sea, not in the ocean, not on the coasts but right in the middle of a protected land, the last half arid steppe down here. Yep. Because of a pipeline leak they don't even notice. Four millions liters of oil, a two meters rip in a pipeline which produced a four meters high geyser of oil and the company didn't even notice it.

Guess what.
One year after this disaster, the area is still contamined.
They tried to unpollute it. But they failed.
So you can imagine what happens daily in the rainforest.
