10 Companies of the World with Bad History.

1. Halliburton

Haliburton, the giant "oilfield services" company, made a fortune in the US invasion of Iraq when Cheney called his men to extinguish the burning well and to "help" the Iraqi oil ministry pumping and distributing oil.

Haliburton has also been involved in countless oil spills, including the 2010 BP disaster.

2. Coca Cola

Coca Cola has forged a devastation in India, where factories that use up to one million liters of water per day, leave tens of thousands of locals in drought, so there is no water to farm even to bathe and drink because groundwater has shrunk considerably to some meter so that the wells dry up.

Then the factory dispose of waste incorrectly, contaminating anything in the remaining water. A lawsuit in 2001 because Coca Cola employs paramilitaries in Columbia who suppress unions at the cola plant there through intimidation, torture and murder.

3. Pfizer

Pfizer, the largest US pharmaceutical company, pleaded guilty in 2009 to the largest healthcare scam in US history, receiving the largest ever illegal criminal penalty for its four drug marketing.

In 1996, Pfizer went to Kano, Nigeria to try an antibiotic meningitis experiment on the world's third disease such as measles, cholera, and bacteria. They gave trovafloxacin for about 200 children. Dozens of them died in the experiment, while others suffered much physical and mental disabilities. According to the EPA, Pfizer is also listed as the top ten companies in America that cause the worst air pollution.

4. ExxonMobil

ExxonMobil is probably best known for the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill which resulted in 11 million gallons of oil polluting Prince William Sound. But they have also been responsible for the huge oil spill in Brooklyn and are causing the decline in critically endangered Russian gray whale populations due to drilling in its natural habitat.

ExxonMobil was sued by human rights activists in 2001 in allegations that ExxonMobil employed Indonesian military who raped, tortured and killed while maintaining the safety of their factories in Aceh.

5. Caterpillar Company

Caterpillar sells all types of tractors, trucks and engines, including many vehicles, boats and submarines used by the US military. Caterpillar also supplies to Israeli bulldozer soldiers used to demolish Palestinian homes that sometimes still have people inside the house.

In 2003 a Caterpillar bulldozer drove and killed Rachel Corrie, an American teenage girl who protested in Gaza standing in front of a tractor to prevent the destruction of Palestinian homes.

6. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey

In July 2004, Clyde, a young lion traveling with Ringling, died in a poorly ventilated carriage as the circus traversed the Mojave Desert at temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Circus elephants are routinely locked up for days at a time and beaten with bullhooks and stun prods.

In a famous case in 1994, an elephant named Tyke killed a coach and injured 12 spectators before being shot dead in the streets of Honolulu. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Baily Circus also had a number of employees who died from a fire under the top of the circus's big tent in 1944 that also killed a hundred spectators allegedly because the canvas of tents were illegally flameproof.

7. Monsanto

Between 1965 and 1972, Monsanto has dumped thousands of tonnes of highly toxic waste in British landfills. According to the UK Environmental Agency the chemicals that pollute the ground and air water they are doing will have an impact over the next 30 years.

Alabama sued Monsanto over 40 years of mercury and PCB dumping into a local tributary.

Even Monsanto is notorious for approaching the farmers they claim to help, but they are suing and imprisoning farmers for saving seeds from a one-season plant for the next crop.

8. Nestle

Contrary to its sweet logo picture, Nestle's crimes against humans and nature including massive deforestation in Borneo, endangered orang-utan habitat to grow oil palms, and buy milk from illegal livestock in Zimbabwe.

Nestle makes the world interested in boycotts to urge mothers in third world countries to use infant formula milk instead of breastmilk, without warning them of possible negative effects.

9. British Petroleum

The 2010 oil rig explosion on the Gulf Coast that killed 11 workers and thousands of birds, sea turtles, dolphins and other animals effectively destroyed the fisheries and tourism industry in the region.

In fact, between January 1997 and March 1998, BP was responsible for the case of 104 oil spills. Thirteen rig workers will be killed in 1965 in an explosion, 15 people in the 2005 blast. Also in 2005, a ferry carrying BP oil workers crashed, killing 16 people.

In 1991, the EPA established BP as the most polutive company in the United States. In 1999, BP was charged with illegal dumping of toxic waste in Alaska, then in 2010 because of a highly hazardous airborne gas leak in the air in Texas.

In July 2006, Colombian farmers won a settlement from BP after they accused the company of using the ruling regime
Over the terror perpetrated by the Colombian paramilitary government while protecting the Ocensa pipe.

10. Dyncorp

These privatized military companies are often hired by the US government to protect American interests abroad, and so the government can claim irresponsibility for DynCorp's actions.

DynCorp is best known for its brutality in poor countries, for the trafficking of child sex slaves, to slaughter civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as for rebel training in Haiti.

Amongst some intense competition, DynCorp is probably the deadliest and most evil rental company in the United States.
