There was a rural town where I grew up that had roots in ranching. Everyone had horse corrals. It got big enough to incorporate into a city and started to grow quickly, but the new incoming residents started complaining about the horse manure smell.

So the city council passed a law that says basically the manure was here before you were. Get over it.

That organic smell means my exit is coming up next and I’m almost home.

Did you know that Alfred Krupp, one of the guys responsible for the arms race that led to World War 1, absolutely loved the smell of horse manure? He loved it to a point where he built a house designed so he could always smell it. Wild stuff.

Manure! I HATE MANURE!

There are farms that remind me that it is spring by the smell of pig manure being spread on them. That is the week when you drive with your windows rolled up and the vent set to recycle. lol

I much prefer the manure smell to the smells of the city.

The house prices in my area dropped so hard when my neighbor had to close his pig farm after the ammonia killed his lungs, I mean come on, can’t you keep doing it with your oxygen bottle?

Thank god the cow farm on the other side is still working, without the screaming of them being tied their whole life in their own shit it would have gone all down the drain.

Dumping massive amounts of pig manure on already over fertilized fields (as very common) to cheaply get rid of it, is just pollution and should not be tolerated.
