I dont understand why they feel they need to put this disgusting hog farm next to our tribal headstart and housing projects? It's so inconsiderate. Moss hog should put a hog farm in his backyard and let his kids live and play amung those disgusting animals. Am I missing something here??? feel free to respond...

It's like the Native Americans don't matter...again. There has to be another place for this business. Don't the legislators in SD have the sense to intervene on behalf of the Dakota people? They are citizens too. I can only imagine how the qualify of life will decline as a result of the sickening stench that will never go away. It's degrading, demoralizing and insulting to place this business next to this community. Is one man's right to do business more constitutionally correct than the quality of life for hundreds? Who makes the call?

All I can say is keep up the fight if they want a hog farm they should put it up in Iowa in their back yards so they can smell the waste.
