Environmentalist groups accuse hog farms of violating civil rights.
Environmental groups have filed a civil-rights complaint against hog farmers in North Carolina, claiming that by maintaining farms near neighborhoods where minorities live, the pork producers are engaged in illegal discrimination against minorities.
The 48-page complaint explains that the farms create problems for surrounding neighborhoods such as foul smells and runoff in the water.
The crux of the complaint, which was filed by Washington-based EarthJustice and three other environmental groups in the Tar Heel State, is not these problems themselves, however. The four environmental groups object to seeing these problems occur in neighborhoods where “people of color” are more likely to live.
The groups also cited issues such as not being able to hang laundry outside and the humiliation that comes from family members’ not wanting to visit.

It's like a local issue where someone builds a thirty house development in an area that's always been farmland and is still full of active farms. Then they start complaining about the noise of large tractors, the smell of fertilizer in the spring, so on and so on. Even about dust drifting off the roads through large fields and settling on a public road that no one in the development ever needs to use unless they're wondering around sight seeing.
The environmentalist azzholes don't want anyone to raise hogs and any lie or line of crap they think will float they'll use to keep farmers in court and cost them money. That's all it is, harassment because they hate hogs and bacon.
I don't understand. This does not compute.
The words "HATE" and "BACON" cannot be in the same sentence.
It is inconceivable that anyone would "hate bacon".
Islam.
So twisted only the Shadow knows what evil dwells in their dark souls.
Muzzies and democrat fascist scum both hate bacon, is such hatred coincident, or is it symptomatic of an evil heart?
“Oh a hog shed helps the hogs to live in style!
And the profits that they bring make Farmers smile!
Run off from the holding pond
smells as bad as heck
as the people can attest round ‘bout for miles!”
Sing to the tune of “Oklahoma”
Just like people complaining about the noise of living near an airport even though the airport had been there for years before they moved to the area.
*************************
Years ago, some stand-up comic had the solution. Just restrict such housing sales to only the deaf or hard of hearing folks.
Sure they can.
I hate it when I run out of bacon.
I hate sharing my bacon.
As he realized that I was eating the last piece of bacon, a look of hate came over his face.
See? I can be done...
It's time to quarantine liberals. They have become a threat to society.
