either. He says we had the smell of the chicken farm there for years <br /> and this won't be that bad. I grew up next to Hayre's Egg Farm. <br /> We couldn't go out of our house in the summer, the smell was so <br /> bad. And the walls were thick with flies. There are a lot more people <br /> living in this area now, and they wouldn't stand for this kind of animal <br /> smell and fly problem. <br /> In Elk Grove, a slaughter house was built on a much bigger <br /> piece of ground than this and it had to close down. They could'nt <br /> control the waste in the ground water and there was a big fly problem. <br /> And we're supposed to not worry about this happening here on only 13 acres. <br /> Mrs. Takeshiro, who has lived here most of her 78 years, has to worry <br /> about this kind of thing in her older age and what is her ground worth <br /> now after all these years. We thought we had bought the place of <br /> our dreams where we could move our two children and live the rest <br /> of our lives. My two young children sure don't want to live next to <br /> this slaughterhouse and neither do I or my husband. Who would want to <br /> buy our property for what we paid for it. Most of the people who live <br /> in this area have lived in this area, as I have, for most of our lives. <br /> And this man, who talks to the newspaper like he is going to do what <br /> he wants no matter what, thinks he can ruin our area with a slaughter- <br /> house of this size. Who does he think he is? Do we really need a <br /> slaughter house? I hope you will stop this from happening. <br /> The newspaper said that there will be another public hearing. <br /> -70- <br />
