Villagers in Liyu Village, Hengyang, gather to block roads and defend their rights after complaints about pig farm stench go unheeded
On November 8, a large number of villagers from Liyu Village, Lijiang Town, Hengyang, Hunan, gathered on the road to defend their rights and block transport trucks from a pig farm. This action followed two years of fruitless complaints regarding the persistent foul odor emitted by the Hengnan Yangmingshun Ecological Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. pig farm, and the company's repeated failure to fulfill promises of rectification.
