Letter to the editor: Concentrated Animal Greeding Operations

Posted

To the editor, 

Regarding the recent CAFO controversy, a slight change in wording reveals the truth behind this important issue, i.e., instead of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation, the acronym should properly read: Concentrated Animal Greeding  Operation.

Because that of course is what taking thousands of very large animals emitting a vast tonnage of waste and placing them in an area noted for serious water problems is really about. People not from here attempting to make yet more millions of dollars from a tender environment. So familiar. So routine. So reprehensible. America the very less than beautiful where greed seeks to prevail at every peek of an opportunity! Nothing new here folks. Just change channels.
