Columbia Packing Plant discharge into Cedar Creek Dallas, Texas

Alleged illegal discharge site from Columbia Packing Plant into Cedar Creek in Dallas Texas. As you can see the site is caked with blonde colored pig hair and animal feces. 1/22/12. The stench was epic. The camera can barely pick up the faint cries of pigs up the hillside on the Columbia Property. This video was shot entirely on Dallas Public Park property. At no point was I on private property. I am appalled if these allegations are true.

@232323C

I could hear many pigs squealing and crying while I was there too. The camera microphone did not pick it up even though I could hear it. I like bacon, ham, brisket. I like the pork industry too. I don't like polluters. Anyone know what brands Columbia packs meat for?

I noticed on yahoo it said you used a RC plane with a camera? how is this setup and do you have a monitor to where you can see video in live stream? that would be awesome. how far can you fly it? if you don't want to explain everything, just point me in the right direction lol

@ronpack

It's called an "exposure" rc plane. Plans are available online. The cameras used are run of the mill digital SLRs that can be triggered remotely. I'm not sure if it has realtime uplink capability but they can be triggered remotely once you have the plane facing the right direction.

I disagree. Disposing of blood and animal waste like this is illegal. It depletes the oxygen in the water and kills all the fish. It's not just blood. It's also the gastrointestinal tract, hair and feces. Toxic chemicals were also being dumped by the company down this channel. Would you eat a fish out of that creek?
