Their home is situated right between the three factory farms Bolettesminde, Edelgundegaard and Vandvaerksgaarden, with only a few hundred meters distance to each farm. When they moved in, the number of farms and animals in the area was much smaller. Now their quality of life is severely impacted by the smell from the farms, both of them reported to Greenpeace Nordic in Denmark. All windows have three layers of glass to keep the smell and noise out. They almost never open their windows, and they never dry clothes outside.The photo shows Karin with her silver wedding dress. She remembers her silver wedding anniversary with sadness. All the guests were in the garden, when the wind suddenly changed and it started smelling very badly. Karin says: “For me the day was completely ruined. I almost cried and I felt ashamed because of the rotten smell. Our social life is ruined, because we cannot have guests outside. I often feel nauseous and uncomfortable.”Locations:Denmark-Europe-TingerupDate:13 Mar, 2019Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:4687px X 3515pxKeywords:Agriculture-Air pollution-Factory Farming-Houses-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-One person-Pigs-Sadness-Victims-Weddings-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
