I live about 1,200 feet from a hog confinement. It's not fun to smell hog crap every day. There IS health effects to hog confinements. My little sister's friend's little brother actually stopped breathing and had to be rushed to the emergency room for the smell was so overpowering. They moved away, naturally. It's a huge issue. Not only is it unhealthy for people; the hogs are so bunched together; it's insane. I'm not even to begin imagining all the diseases that are teeming around in those confinements. There's my two cents. - Katie Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:42:11 +0100
