another classic video gringo who does not tell the whole truth. accusations without knowing the real cause of pollution. La Oroya is a mine, is a city metallurgical lead soils have accumulated 87 years and that is the main source of pollution. How sad to see people being able to walk their sheep to depletion for several miles to La Oroya and levarlos say is caused by pollution. liars

Lo triste es cuando el reportero pregunto a la persona a cargo en una de las plantas en US porque si compania invierte en mejorar la planta para reducir la contaminacion de las personas que viven alrededor ( y hasta compraron las casas contruidas alrededor para evitar ser enjuiciados por la gente)

cuando le preguntaron PORQUE esta compania no hace lo mismo con la planta en La oroya- Peru,la persona solo dijo que habian hecho "varios" cambios.

Pero la gente peruana aun muere y nadie hace nada.

I wish more people would watch this video. The sad truth is people don't give a damn-

I saw a report about the owner, he is a billionaire who lives in the Hamptons. He owns another lead factory in West Virginia, but the pollution is a bit more contained overthere-

It's fucking sad

Mientra que Ira Renco doerun hace nuevos contratos por el que ganará $ 2.5 billones al año, y claro el ministro Brack defiende con uñas y dientes por el sencillo, que la gente de La Oroya coma plomo, seria mejor que nadie trabaje en esas empresas y ya veran lo que pasa, es decision de los pobladores de nada les vale las limosnas que reciben si no van a tener salud.
