Child Living near Factory Farm in Lescout, France
Near the village of Lescout there is a big hen factory farm, currently farming 185,000 hens. A child, aged 7, is closing the window inside his house. According to Nicolas Mougel, his father, the smell coming from the factory farm of Lescout, which is located a few hundred meters away from where they live, is noticeable several times a day. It’s usually noticeable in the evening and in the morning, but can also occur throughout the day. When the air smells bad it is difficult, according to Nicolas, for him and his five children to enjoy being or playing outside.
