They do not breathe fresh air but, rather, are raised in the stench of their own urine and feces...The food is shipped in from out of state and the 1,500,000 gallons of liquid manure and urine from the lagoons is sprayed onto nearby fields...This is a cruel and inhumane way to raise any animal and the resultant wastes cause very offensive odor problems sometimes for miles around. These hog factories also pose grave environmental problems for our wells, streams and rivers."
