Complaints kill shooting range, pigs coming now

[AK-74me]

City folks want country atmosphere well they are going to get it!

Hhahahahaha. Wait til they go to sell their properties and the person looking at the house goes "What the $%^& is that smell?" Bwhahahahahahaha Gonna be wishing it was a shooting range.

Do pig farms smell..

Ever drive through El Paso on I-10? Beef Cattle farms on both sides of the hwy for a couple of miles. Stinks to high heaven. Still not as bad as a pig farm.
I can't wait to hear what happens after 30 days of pig farming.

 

[Desertdog]

well, the pigs will only be effective from about may to october if the weather is like it is here. freezing weather stops most of the smell from travelling. but, if

Maybe that is why;

He said that because "within reason" apparently includes raising pigs, that's what he'll do, though the pigs he bought Sept. 1 won't be delivered until the spring.

Those folks are going to wish for the range. Their property won't be worth what it smells like!

The first one that gives in and decides to sell is going to be in for a VERY unpleasant surprise.

 

[jfh]

can anyone dig in deep enough to find the e-mail of one of the opponent neighbors?

It'd be fun to send him an e-mail of our collective observations here about the issues of living next to a pigs**t factory.

Just something for him to think about for the next six-eight months or so.

Raising pigs on a former skeet range might not be a good idea, but I like the sentiment.

With crossed fingers, I note that in Texas, if you're outside the city limits, there's no government which can shut down a shooting range for noise alone. Counties have no ordinance-making powers beyond such things as septic-tank designs and similar health/sanitation stuff--and then only on tracts of ten acres or less. Counties have been enabled to bar any shooting on tracts of land of less than ten acres, but that's only happened in Bandera County and Harris County (Houston), SFAIK. 10.01 acres? Okay.

And it really doesn't take a very large number of hogs to smell up a large area. And A/C units gotta cool that outside air, right?

In northern Ohio, near Kelbly's range (look for Marshallville), there's some industrial feedlot farming going on, with attendant fertilizer dispersion...

The honey wagons on the roads are a hazard, and the the stench is just vile.

They're also saying that it's causing problems with the groundwater...

Brick Top: "You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it?
"Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion... They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig"."

Now do you put the hog pens close to the property line or the waste water lagoon?

LOL, maybe he should invite all those neighbors over for movie night once the pigs move in and show Snatch just to get them thinking a little.

"A lot of people move to this township to get into a rural atmosphere, and to have a commercial activity pop up next door is a little disconcerting."

This is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard. What do these people think the residents of this "rural township" do for a living? That community wouldnt ever have been built if it werent for commercial activity, thats WHY its there in the first place.

 

[DeseoUnTaco]

Ha ha haw haw hawgs!

Oh the joy of having a pig farm next door! Oh the sounds, the smells, the run-off, the property values!

There are few better uses of land than a skeet range. If they use lead-free shells, it has almost no negative environmental impact. The sound of shotguns booming in the distance is not unpleasant. It's a lot better for the environment than almost any kind of intensive farming, and much much better than any kind of animal-raising. Oh and shotguns use shells but produce no smells!

Once while I was living in a farm community, I had a choice between two saturday jobs. One was helping someone on his pig farm for a few hours. Instead, I spent all day with a shovel and cow manure. More work, probably less money. I didnt regret it one bit.

 

[Yanus]

I love it!.......... WAIT UNTIL IT RAINS!

When fall arrives, he should invite a few close friends for a "butchering". You farm boys know what I am talking about. Then, he should have a "pig roast".

I live in North-East PA. Up in the woods in the Pocono area. Lots of country folk up here. Unfortunately, we are two counties in from the NJ border. They have made there own homesteads so lousy to live in that they are spilling over into our area. The price of housing is getting so expensive, that the local populace is finding it hard to get a place. Forget about acerage. I'm halfway afraid of our area becoming Jersey-fied. Lots of Cadillac Escalades running around with fat guys in strap t-shirts. I shoot in my back yard. So does all my neighbors. But I can almost hear the complaints starting now. I'm getting myself prepared for the onslaught. I'm not too worried though, I've read the Bible and I still haven't found that cold day in Hell yet.

Poetic justice

I have a friend who was accused of covenant violations in Wyoming. He documented all of the other covenant violations, which was basically EVERYBODY in the subdivision. He then put up a web site to document all of them. www.painterestates.com

He won a lawsuit that was filed against him. Now the other covenant violators are moving out.
