A line of trees and the small river the Sor separate the hen factory farm affecting the village of Lescout from some of its nearest houses. One of them belongs to Hélène Catala, 46 years old, a nurse living and working in village. This old mill facing the Sor is just a few hundred meters from the farm. The extractor fans are on the side of the farm facing the river and Lescout. Hélène’s life, according to her, is affected by the smell coming from the facility on a daily basis. “The main issue for us is the smell. Sometimes I ask myself: what is going on next to our home?”Locations:Europe-France-Lescout-OccitanieDate:11 Dec, 2018Credit:© Greenpeace / Wildlight / Selene MagnoliaMaximum size:4979px X 3734pxKeywords:Agriculture-Air pollution-Chickens-Day-Factory Farming-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Meat-Meat and Dairy (campaign title)-One person-Sadness-Victims-WomenShoot:Hen Factory Farm in FranceThe 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 of the area and is currently farming 185,000 hens.
