Other industries must disclose the toxic pollutants they emit.... Factory farms are exempt. Those exemptions began in 2008, under the Bush administration, and have remained in effect under the Obama administration.
The lawsuit challenges the legality of the environmental agency's 2008 exemptions.

The waterkeeper alliance is the group that spent 3 years and millions of taxpayer dollars with the University of Maryland suing the Hudson Farm for having legal fertilizer stored in a legal fashion on their farm, costing the Hudsons millions in legal fees. The Hudsons were found innocent of any wrongdoing, but it almost cost them the farm.
Remember that, Ray Wallace?
Is this who your friends are?
Why are they so intent to destroy more jobs, more farms, hamper the economy even more...not to mention raise the price of chicken...you cant have a farm without alittle dust ffs!!!
" The suit was filed by Earthjustice on behalf of the Center for Food Safety, Environmental Integrity Project, the Humane Society of the United States, Sierra Club, and Waterkeeper Alliance..."
Until these groups not only lose their lawsuits but are duly punished for the harassment they practice daily, this crap will go on and on forever.
Who pays? Just us grocery buyers...
This world can be a better place without the Ray Wallaces out there.
The discharged air from a chicken house contains microscopic partials of feces, when these particulates are breathed into the lungs, they can set up an infection, resembling the flu. In a weaken immune system, such as small children and older adults, it can turn to pneumonia or a type of "bird flu".
It is the responsibility of a good farmer to install filters on this discharge.
Gerald,
When people pass gas (fart) the air expelled from them contains microscopic particles of feces, when these particles are beached into the lung they can set up infections, as well. When breathed into the nose they can also make one faint or nauseous. There are a whole lot more farts in the air we breathe than particles from chicken houses.
Thank you, 7:21. Some people just need a straw to grab at!
