Pig smells upon arrival in Dominican Republic
Pig smells are a big issue at the Cibao International
Airport, near the city of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican
Republic.
Odour from nearby pig and poultry farms has driven local authorities,
community organisations and terminal operators mad enough to organise joint
actions.
During a meeting held this week, community leaders of the town of Licey
raised various formulas to eliminate the smell and waste problems from the
animals.
Blame
A spokesman of the community organisations said that public health and
environment authorities are to blame for the problems, because in his view these
were indifferent to earlier warnings.
He also criticised the ministry of environment, since it has yet to take
action to stop those who pollute.
