 Animal Planet :: News :: Pig Farm Causing Stink   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
June 1, 2005 — The owners of a bakery and residents near the northern Lithuanian town of Pakruojis have called in the ombudsman to settle a row over a plan by a Danish company to build a pig farm on their doorsteps.
The bakery owners are particularly worried about the future farm's sanitary zone — the distance pig rearers are required to maintain between their farm and local residences and businesses — which is just 500 meters (yards) from a bakery in Pakruojis.
They say the project represents an investment of 37 million litas ($13.2 million) in their region, and stress that Saerimner has pledged to protect the environment by building a modern pig breeding complex, which would fully meet local and EU environmental standards and create hundreds of much-needed jobs in the region.

The road became narrower and rougher as we progressed and, by the time we turned to the south at the end to the patch of trees (close to the town of Pakruojis) it had dwindled to a seldom used track with low hanging trees and encroaching scrub.
We headed back to Lygumai and our plan was to go around to the other side of the Deliverance-man's house in the thicket to see if we could reach the confluence from there.
