According to an article in the January 15, 2009 issue of “The
Washington Spectator,” there are regulations that this Bush
Administration, before their tenure is over, would like to give to
industries “as going away presents.” One such rule is described as
follows:
“A rule that allows corporate factory farms to ignore the Clean
Water Act and dump hundreds of thousands of tons of fecal waste into
waterways without obtaining permits from the Environmental Protection
Agency. A concentrated animal feeding operation housing 100,000 hogs
produces the same amount of fecal waste as a city of one million
people. The EPA estimates that the industrial farms generate three
times as much waste as do humans. The same animal factories were
exempted from federal community right-to-know laws that require them
to report air emissions generated by animal waste. That’s two big wins
for the National Chicken Council. National Pork Producers Council,
National Milk Producers Federation, United Egg Producers and the
National Turkey Foundation, whose lobbyists met with EPA and
administration officials before the rule was drafted.”
Since our so-called government protection agencies can, in our
opinion, be so easily bought off, the only solution is to go vegan and
put these corrupt industries out of business once and for all. One more
excellent reason to Go Vegan!
