Living creatures produce waste because their emissions also introduce chemicals that measurably pollute the environment. This is a fact, and if you need to deny such a fact for some other thing you believe to hold water - then this other thing that you believe does not hold water.
The most immediately concerning waste product is ammonia, which is absurdly toxic...and especially at the levels present with some species. The idea that this is not waste because, in some sense, it's a natural process, is ludicrous. Natural processes make cars work, too. A thing being natural does not prevent that thing from being a pollutant...an the muh vaunted "balance of nature" is a myth that belongs in the same set as gods. It's a pretty euphemism for a snapshot in time and process, where we count up what the meat grinder has left intact and say, ah this sausage has x% of this and y% of that - balance!
If these processes are gods idea...though, or gods chosen processes, then yes - god chose inefficient and damaging processes which necessitate that life continually destroys other life in order to perpetuate it's own. If that's a problem for a given christian - they have a problem with the god of this world. Not to fear, though, we lowly human worms have made significant improvements to gods chosen processes, and most of these specifically focused towards reducing pollution and death. I do it for a living.
