In the U.S., the term for big "factory farms" is "confined animal feeding operations," or CAFOs. In Canada it's "intensive livestock feeding operations," or ILOs. Same thing.
In Manitoba, we are unable to get the united front needed, especially from the rural people that are most affected and at risk ! Plus

Even one of our daily newspapers no longer allows our voices to be heard, if it concerns hogs and manure concerns.
