Very sad local news...

[Catherine]

How horrible. That is a step backward. We are trying to find a way to leave farming dark ages behind and your neighbour is setting up a factory farm. Why would he even consider doing that. Surely he has better results with cows that live outside. The cows could eat natural food. In a shed he would have to spend money on food all year round. It won't even be the best food for cows.
Too bad you didn't see the notice. Maybe it wasn't well displayed because they didn't want people like you to see it.
Is there any way to protest it now.
Can you put up posters and let the whole area know that this is happening. Is there any chance that they would care?

I feel for the cows that will suffer there.  No creature deserves a life like that.

Let us know what happens. Is there a local council you can complain to?  Certainly there will be serious agricultural runoff that will pollute water in your area.
