Near the village of Lescout there is a big hen factory farm, currently farming 185,000 hens. Many letters written by community members addressed to the mayor of the village of Lescout describe how locals are personally affected by the presence of the factory farm, the smell and noise released by it and the impact it has on their everyday life. These letters were mentioned to Greenpeace France at the time of the visit to the city hall. Topics covered by the letters are mysterious illnesses, cancer cases, smell, constant noise, concern for their own health and the health of their children.
