Summary:

This newsletter brings out all kinds of concern regarding water pollution in the Lake Huron and its possible sources. They say that they don’t want to point fingers at any group but articles and comments about pork production are more frequent than any other possible pollution source. They propose a letter writing campaign signed by tax paying citizen and address to township council asking them to pass bylaws stopping the expansion of all livestock activities until lake pollution reaches satisfactory levels. No mention on this letter is make on other pollution sources. Most of the time the sources of the information presented in the newsletter are not given and show the worst possible face of the situation. This newsletter is made to stir up controversy and opposition and gives a very bad view of pork production. They present the industry as only oriented to money making at all environmental cost with no to little will to be environmentally friendly in their production ways. Only gives the reader the will to lobby for restraining bylaws not considering the impact of it. Its main trend is opposition not communication and solution making.
