In Janna Palliser's article "Fracking Fury," she discusses the pros and cons of gas fracking. There are much more cons. The con that was also discussed in the Lustgarten and Kusnetz article is the contamination of drinking water which leads to deterioration of health of those living in the affected areas. Also fracking has been linked to causing harm to animals such as cows, goats and chickens. Although these animals are not glorified, and are far from being extinct- our economy still depends on their health. Also, gas fracking can cause pollution and has been linked to increasing the likelihood of earthquakes, which are clearly very dangerous and hazardous.
