KEY ISSUES OF CONCERN

Picture

Ecological


Risks to wells, water quality, air, and wildlife are significant.  Two creeks adjacent the property feed directly into the Missouri, and the facility would draw millions of gallons​ of groundwater per day from the underlying Madison Aquifer.

ECONOMIC


Decreased property values, medical service shortfalls, and noxious odors are only some of the problems experienced in "slaughter-house" towns around the nation.

HUMAN


The overall long term damage to our reputation as a community, sustainable growth, and the resulting brain-drain are difficult to quantify but very real.
​
​Similar scale slaughterhouse facilities around the nation wreak havoc in their host communities.  Serious public health, environmental pollution issues, and disasters are well-documented.  Eight of the twenty largest water polluters in the US are industrial animal processing plants. These types of facilities inflict horrendous health and environmental damage and change the very nature of their host communities forever.
