Oklahoma
State Attorney General Drew Edmondson raised concerns that the 345,000
tons of raw chicken sewage dumped by chicken farms in Oklahoma and
Arkansas were the equivalent of untreated sewage from nearly 11 million
people and were dirtying Oklahoma’s once-pristine rivers and lakes.
Oklahoma
Federal Judge Gregory Frizzell agreed with the state attorney general
in a ruling that said the excessive application of chicken waste could
be regulated as pollution under federal anti-pollution laws.
Attorney
General Edmondson, Oklahoma state and the Honorable Judge Frizzell, our
sincere thanks for your concern and just ruling.
May all states
be encouraged to act similarly in protecting the environment and the
public from the health hazards of animal farming.
