Canadian farmers and activists warn over hog farm pollution
At a conference sponsored by the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives and the National Farmers' Union, participants recount a July spill near McGregor where an above ground hog slurry tank released a million gallons, contaminating two wells and prompting calls for tighter regulation and cleaner practices. A Waterkeeper Alliance member cites North Carolina’s river pollution and fish kills as a warning, urging lower environmental externalization and urging Canada to learn from that example.
