It's Awful and there is NO ESCAPE

We are suffocating on noxious fumes. This is South Tewksbury- Smellville. Help!!

Imagine you are in a building and it is suddenly FILLED with the odor of DUNG. You would cover your nose and get out right? But what if it’s your own home....the place you eat and sleep and have worked for years to have? Maybe you’d try to open a window, change the air. But you can’t. The odor is out there too.

I have lived here for over 50 years. The CAFO came into my neighborhood 10 years ago. We did not have a say in the matter, regardless of how long I’d been here, of how long I’ve paid taxes here, and despite the health hazards. This is not a farm. It became a CAFO. There is a difference. An internet search will tell you the truth and the truth is scary. Our VERY AIR has been stolen. OUR VERY AIR! Please go away. Help!!! I am so sad
