However, it doesn't fully explain why bio-security is suddenly so critical, when factory hog barn establishments have been in Manitoba for 25 years. Yes, bringing disease issues onto properties might be a concern if it wasn't for the fact that hog barns and the huge lagoons of feces are perfect mediums for deceases to proliferate within the premises. <br /><br />Nature did not intend for animals to live by the thousands, crammed together inside buildings, raised on pharmaceutical products, with no access to the outdoors for grass, sunlight or the clean healthy scent of fresh air.
