Drone pilot finds “river of blood” outside Dallas meatpacking plant

and other than being non-vegan, what's the real concern here?

Too many regulations, right Republicans? These people can regulate themselves, right?

I scrolled down the river for miles on these google map coordinate 32.751412,-96.788113. I found that this river, likely is the source of water for all sorts of crops in the surrounding area. Whether or not the blood is still saturated into the water all these miles I do not know!

"Who installed the pipe and why is it there?"

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that the meatpacking plant installed it to dispose of blood in the river...but like I said, that's just a guess.

Explain this : "discovered a secondary pipe again ".
A second pipe ?
Again ?

I went to the site on Sunday afternoon. It reeks of pig feces and the natural limestone bottom of this creek is coated with a red rusty substance. I shot a video of the actual discharge after the warrant was served. Three days later. It still smelled bad. Awful. The trench where the water was discharged was packed with tons of blonde animal hair. I'm guessing pig hair. You can plug in fF2r6BTWY2Y to see it on youtube or google. You can see the hair matted down in the clumps of feces. It's not dirt you are seeing but organic remains. Sucks because this illegal dumping entering the Trinity contaminates the Trinity Aquifer which enters the Edwards Aquifer that Austin and San Antonio depend on for water. The surface water enters the Houston water supply downstream. It's alleged that the packing plant was discharging 900,000 gallons of waste a month into the stream.

all of those people living near or even miles away from that river are at risk from all kinds of foul bacteria and pestilence that'll thrive in that mess... there's a reason open sewers aren't a good idea.

Raises 2 questions: 1. Is there good drinking water in Dallas and 2. what brand is the meat here, since if they are guilty of this, you can imagine the shortcuts in the meat processing which lands up on your table.

$75 to take down a major provider of bad decisions....well done....!!!!

Not like it wasn't obvious. Google Maps coordinates: 32.751412,-96.788113

For anyone who wonders why businesses are regulated, this is a great example. It cuts into profits if you have to play by the rules. The owner should be fined and liable for cleanup cost.

And who says corporations and industry can't be trusted to regulate themselves?

If a company wants their airspace to be a no-fly zone, they should make sure they are obeying the laws. As the picture shows, it was taken over an a property next to the plant and shows the bloody discharge outside the plant property. Just because it is not on your property when it enters the enviroment does not mean you're not responsible for it.

I bet it soon becomes a "crime" for hobbyists to fly drones and take pix over commercial property.

My favorite part was "I think they discovered a secondary pipe AGAIN...". That tells me they were caught before dumping waste into the river.And, yes it is biodegradable, but so is the #$%$ in your toilet, would you like me to spread that on your toast?

Yep I looked it up on google earth, 2807 East 11th Street, Dallas, TX, there is so much blood in the creek that it has turned the sand bars red and when it gets to the Trinity River you can see the blood red water from the creek, as a retired Natural Resources Police Officers, I would say someone at the plant is going to be looking for a job, I am not sure if the blood would deplete the oxygen levels of the creek, but I would bet the other chemicals used in the processing would create a pretty large fish kill.

Well Done, who ever you are.
Thank you

This greedy meat packing plant doesn't wanna pay for proper disposal even it it pollutes drinking water for millions of people. I'd bet that a lot of the workers are illegals and the CEO and upper management people roll in the dough.

For under 100 dollars, this 'source' uncovered a major criminal act of polluting waterways. We need to put him in charge of the budget, how ingenious can you get

And some think we should get rid of regulations. Big businesses will do the right thing, trust them...duh.
