Animals are higher up on the food chain than plants and therefore accumulate many times the amount of harmful substances in their bodies. At the same time, more toxins can be found in predators and old animals than in young animals and in those species that only eat plants. Hence it is not surprising that sharks, king makerel and tuna can present with a several thousand-fold higher load of chemicals and heavy metals than sardines and herrings. The same rule applies to land animals. And not only the meat and intestines of these animals are polluted but also eggs and milk as well as all products made from these. Hence:

If animal products such as milk, dairy products, meat, giblets, eggs, fish, crabs or oysters are frequently found on your menu, then your organs will also have absorbed more harmful substances.

Animals of organic husbandry and their products, on the other hand, are much less polluted as they do not eat any conventionally produced food that is treated with chemical additives or is genetically modified. This is not entirely the case with products that have only been given the organic seal by the European Union.
