Nauseating. And there are 2000 open pit cesspool hog factories in North Carolina alone. How do they drain the full four-football-field sized pits? By spraying, into the air.

The costs to human neighbors is incalculable. What about the effects on the Earth’s soil, water? And what about the hogs? Imagine yourself as a hog crowded with other hogs, standing inside one of those long buildings your entire life, your urine and feces dropping through the concrete floor directly into the cesspools.

Likewise, imagine yourself as a CAFO chicken.
