Anything Goes at Factory Farms in Georgia

A great piece by Chris Joyner in the Atlanta Journal Constitution about how factory farms flout environmental regulations in Georgia, knowing that there’s almost zero statewide enforcement:

Acting on a tip, state environmental inspectors in February paid a surprise visit to a dairy farm in Eatonton. They found the owner pumping gallon upon gallon of liquefied cow manure into a freshwater pond.

Further proof that factory farming is an industry dominated by dickheads. When the system’s broken—as it is in Georgia—they take full advantage. (Via Shapiro.) Link.
