Daka, a Danish company partly owned by Danish Crown, collects the dead animals. The company produces feed for pets and biofuels out of organic waste products. Dead pigs are also seen in front of other factory farms in the area.Before the pigs were just thrown in the roadside, but after protests from local residents the municipality demanded that the bodies must be covered by a plastic shield.Residents tell about frequent intolerable smells, noise pollution and health problems. In spite of this the local authorities keep on permitting the factory farmer to expand his farms.Locations:Denmark-Europe-TingerupDate:15 Mar, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:5184px X 3888pxKeywords:Agriculture-Air pollution-Containers-Day-Death-Factory Farming-KWCI (GPI)-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-Outdoors-Pigs-Waste disposalShoot:Pig Factory Farms in DenmarkDenmark produces more than 31 million pigs annually, which, together with the annual production of 1.5 million cattles, makes up 19 percent of Denmark’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Inside the walls of industrial farms, animals’ existence are reduced to short lives inside small booths or cages. Besides its effect on the climate, meat production in Denmark further has a negative impact on the local environment, landscape, biodiversity and public health.Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark demands a reduction in the number of pigs and cattles produced by the meat industry in Denmark. The decrease in amount of agricultural land used for production of animal feed should simultaneously give space to more nature, forest and production of organic, plant-based crops. Furthermore, the public system has to contribute to a transition of the consumption of less meat and more green foods.Related Collections:Factory Farms in Europe - Full SelectionYear in Pictures 2019 (Photos & Videos)Factory Farms in Europe - Tight EditFactory Farms in Europe - Media Release
