Odor Law being tried in court here...hmmm

[Cane Pole]

A local township will try to bring a pig farmer to trial for stinking up town. This should be interesting.

How can a township subject someone (who does not live in the city limits) to their city ordnance?

Only in Tennessee

I guess they want to legislate the wind now.

Happening in Hollow Rock as I type......my my.........

Next thing you know you will be going to jail for breaking wind. Or at least I would.....Oh and watch your dogs, they can stink up a county pretty quick.

In some parts of Iowa it's a very serious matter. The stench can be so bad that folks can't sell their homes. Many have suceeded in getting their property taxes lowered do to the devaluation in the area because of the smell. That might be what's happening in Tenn.

We have a lot of chicken farmers in Ms, talk about a stench, hooo-weee. I dont know how they stand it. They tell me its the smell of money....guess I'll be broke a little longer.

[Barnacle Bill]

We had a fellow that raised a few hogs not too far from me. A developer put a few homes in next to him and the new owners complained. So the city made him get rid of them. That ain't right! Its as bad as the people that buy houses near NAS Oceana then complain about the jet noise.

I agree Bill. If the farmer was there first, he should be left alone.
But then again I've seen too many confinements go up just too darn close to homes that were there long before the pig boom.

All it takes is a little common sense, therein lies the problem. Most courts and a lot of people either don't have any common sense or don't use what they have.

People want to move to the country for the country life but complain about the smells. What the heck! If ya can't stand the smells stay out of the country life.
