...From the mad cows (1997) to eggs contaminated with Finopril (2017), via the dioxin crisis (1999) and the massacre of thousands of poultry due to the umpteenth re-emergence of avian flu, factory farms favour the proliferation of dangerous pathologies. #zoonoses

1/ Many people who live near #factoryfarms have to live with a terrible stench.
Here’s what’s behind the smell — and how it’s impacting their lives. vox.com/future-perfect…

2/ Many of the around 9 million pigs in North Carolina — the third largest producer of swine in the US — live in big factory farms, and all of those pigs produce a lot of waste.
3/ On these factory farms, that waste is collected in big outdoor lagoons, and then sprayed out across fields as fertilizer.
People living in communities nearby complain their daily lives are disrupted by the stench, and they fear that it’s affecting their health.

@EdKrassen He’s not even doing that much! Over 99% of farming in America is by big #FactoryFarms, not family farms! Trump is giving $12 BILLION of OUR taxpayer dollars to big corporations that don’t need it - NOT helping struggling farm families! It’s just another scam from #DonTheCon!

@EdKrassen Farmers & GOP want America to believe there’s still lots of small farms scattered across the country. There aren’t. It would be harder to get enough votes to pass the FarmBill if folks knew that there’re far fewer small farms in 2018, & big factory farms don’t need subsidies!
