Lake Of Hog Fecal Waste At Factory Farm

Warsaw, North Carolina, USA

Factory farming of pigs means that the animals live shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other animals. Drugs and hormones fed to the sows can make their feces pink, and at least in the USA the animals are sprayed with insecticides, all of which mixes in with their feces to create a giant toxic waste problem. Groundwater contamination, antibiotic resistant bacteria, hormone system disruption in our bodies and greenhouse gas emissions are results of this assembly line to make cheap meat.
