PETITION OPPOSING PROPOSED HOG CONFINEMENT (CAFO) IN SOMERSET COUNTY, PA. USA

I am taking a stand and becoming involved in the well being of my community. Factory Farms (CAFOs) have been scientifically proven to be harmful in many ways and more scientific proof is surfacing each day.

We, the undersigned residents of Somerset County and Peoples of the U.S. strongly oppose the proposed confined animal feeding operations (CAFO):

A 4800 head swine CAFO, owned by: Greg Croner, Beachdale Farms Inc. and another proposed by Leydig CAFO, Keith and Denise Leydig located at: Crossroad School Road and Swamp Creek Road, Garrett, PA. USA

We oppose: because its close proximity to residents can (1) cause harm to the health and quality of life of its neighbors and workers (2) pollute our air and destroy our water /watershed (3) lower the value of our home and farmsteads (4) deplete our county’s revenues and decrease the economic viability of our community and (5) run family farmers out of business. **Not to mention the extreme abuse of the animals confined and raised in these in these operations.

Please join us and sign!
