Pork producer loses lawsuit
Premium Standard Farms Inc., second largest pork producer in the US with headquarters in Kansas City, has lost a lawsuit over the stench their hog farms produce. On September 22nd, each of the three families involved were awarded $750,000 and an estate; and there are more than 50 such cases still pending. According to one plaintiff, the company’s actions in addressing the smell of waste from 350,000 pigs on 1,300 acres could be summarized as, “I see nothing, I smell nothing, and we do nothing.”

These are God’s creatures who have instincts and needs; who experience joy and sorrow; and whose God-given rights are totally ignored.
