'It's disgusting:' Meat chunks falling from sky have one BC community fed up

[@chrislim7976]

This business didn't just show up overnight. Was there not meetings and consultations and city permits involved?

[@Spartisanhack]

City?

[@SRM_NZ]

Our city council tried to slide past my neighbourhood a fish gut compost company....right in the middle of a residential neighbourhood in the central part of our city.....The seagull population exploded, many residents close to the factory started to become ill...with blinding headaches and breathing problems....The city had no choice but to remove that companies resource consent.....as their so called 'in-house' containment system wasn't as good as the company reported.....Never forget...governments are elected by the ratepayer/tax payer....elected to manage our needs...not the needs of their donors.....too many people forget this and allow governments at act as authoritarians.....

[@lostmoose9994]

This is subject for a new show "Only in BC" Nobody mentioned the bears, rats and raccoons....moving in

[@ShannonJanzen]

What a joke

[@jeepstuff4004]

The usual government response, passing the blame

[@misterfunnybones]

It's comforting to know we all contributed in our own small way.

[@KayJay940]

Sue em for loss of peaceful living which is totallly a thing. Each of those 70+ people could file a small claims in BC for up to $38,000. You can file online in 1 day. Thats over 2.6 million and would force them to close operations.

[@cosmicturban2797]

That's a pretty malicious response for someone who is cooperating on trying to change his business to improve the complaints being brought to him.

You would think that a facility such as this would be kept much further from adjacent residential properties. Anything that reasonably would be objectionable to neighbours should have been considered before the permit was issued. The compost plant is not a bad thing but needs to be managed properly, animal carcasses should be in enclosed systems for biological safety.

[@lplt]

i thought the same but i believe this all looked like farm lands which are usually already away from the town... I'm not sure how much further they could go, they shouldn't have to close down because composting is a net positive

[@thatcanadianchick7589]

I live near a animal rendering plant right in my city, the stench can be nauseating on most days and depending on the wind can be tolerable but it's been here for maybe 70 + years.

[@hilaryb8807]

I know what neighbourhood you’re in… good old West Coast Reductions. The smell is BAD…

[@DrusillaD-k9w]

ah the classic, “it’s not my authority don’t look at me!”

[@egSmith-sp9gl]

IT's green, that's not what you wanted !

[@trentbeckstrom4581]

Everyone's entitled to peace full enjoyment of property in BC

[@francoisleveille409]

Cloudy with a chance of ... 🤣

[@patrickcowan8701]

Free barbeque. Spa Hills. Can't make this tihs up.

[@francoisleveille409]

Yeah but ... a perfect way to make yourself really sick!

[@patrickcowan8701]

​@@francoisleveille409 that's what chili and lime are for.

[@drtyboy]

Funny how these types of facility never seem to end up neighboring a politicians property.

[@clarvebiker3175]

Sell your horse pasture and move to Sidney

[@davebruneau6068]

Ya gotta pay the right people in Govt.

[@EmilyDixon-o6i]

You cannot deny the smell that place but emanate, i can see the smell though the screen. I'm shocked it was allowed to be built near a community.

[@aleksanderkuncwicz7277]

Move it to the desert drumheller.

[@AA-tb4ff]

thats like saying the new paper mill stinks when the winds from the north. or the farm next door gets cattle and it stinks on a hot day. its just something your gonna have to learn to live with.

[@MikeH-sg2ue]

Good luck!
