RFK JR. WARNS ALBERTA AGAINST HOG INDUSTRY EXPANSION

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned Alberta Monday that policies

aimed at expanding its C$600 million (US$380 million) hog

industry would lead to an influx of huge " factory farms "

that would poison the Canadian province's water supply and

squeeze out family operations. Kennedy, an environmental

activist, said the multinational pork sector has targeted

Alberta as its next beachhead after many industry practices

& #151 spreading waste from tens of thousands of pigs on

agricultural land or into lagoons, for instance & #151 have

been declared illegal in the United States.
