The egg laying hen factory farm of Lescout, Gallès, located a few hundred meters away from the village, is the only industrial facility for animal agriculture in the area and is currently farming 185,000 hens. First built in the 1980s, it steadily grew and was expanded in 2016 to the modern and highly industrial facility it is today. At the time the photo was taken, some inhabitants expressed towards Greenpeace France that they suspected the presence of harmful substances in the environment. Complaints of airways irritation and gastric problems were common at the time of the visit of Greenpeace France. While visiting the area and interviewing community members, Greenpeace France heard about several cases of illness, including stomach pain and headache. According to Cathy Double (former assistant of the local school) and Jean-Claude Grout (father of a former student), the nearby primary school of the village was particularly affected.
