For 30 years she has been living right in the middle between the three pig farms Edelgundegaard, Vandvaerksgaarden and Bolettesminde, in the small town Tingerup 60 kilometer west of Copenhagen.Her life is severely affected by the awful smell from the farms, Annette reported to Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark. She cannot have guests outside, and drying laundry outside is out of the question, because it would stink of manure.Annette said: “It is the worst when the manure is spread or when the pens are being ventilated. Our windows need to stay closed most of the time, as we don’t know when the wind will blow, towards us and carry the bad smell with it. I get a heavy headache, when they spread manure. I cannot open our bedroom window, because it is right opposite the pens. Everything stinks and is green from algae. We cannot even sell the house.”Locations:Denmark-Europe-TingerupDate:14 Mar, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:5113px X 3835pxKeywords:Agriculture-Air pollution-Factory Farming-Houses-Illness-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-One person-Pigs-Reflections-Victims-WomenShoot: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 SelectionFactory Farms in Europe - Tight Edit
