Preserve the British Countryside, Help Stop a Factory Farm!

Preserve the British Countryside, Help Stop a Factory Farm!

The Issue

Venn Ottery in East Devon in the United Kingdom is a beautiful pastoral area with a rich history. But a quarry and massive factory farm threatens to ruin this unique place. 

The proposal for a 3,640 hog farm would bring about 3 huge buildings and a manure lagoon. The farm would not only ruin the natural beauty of the area but would also cause air increased traffic, air pollution, noise pollution, and a strong stench.

Write to the East Devon District Council and tell them they shouldn't allow such an atrocity to happen.
