Pollution is killing animals because of many things. One example is litter - small animals like door mice could get trapped in an empty packet of crisps an animal my cut themselves on some broken glass - that sort of thing. Another way is by chucking litter into a lake or pond - animals such as swans could choke on some litter!

Hope this has helped :Dx

Pollution leads to environmental degradation. This means that animals will no longer have safe food to eat and the water they drink may also become poisonous.

Yes it does. It's one of the main factors as pollution causes global warming and global warming melts the polar ice caps which will eventually make animals like polar bears extinct.
