Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Chickens, Manure Found Piled at Tyson By Anita Huslin Washington Post Staff Writer August 16, 2000 Piles of chicken carcasses and manure have been stacking up in shallow open-air pits on Maryland's Eastern Shore, posing a potential threat to the area's ground water and apparently violating a 1998 agreement between federal regulators and the nation's largest poultry processor. Recent inspections revealed chicken feathers, bones and other remains decomposing in black, watery sludge pits, and piles of manure baking in the sun on at least two farms owned by Tyson Food Inc. in Salisbury, Md. Nearby storage sheds, built to hold such waste, went largely unused. http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32670-2000Aug15.html -- Free email services provided by http://www.goodkarmacafe.com Powered by Outblaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
