"If a dead animal or even a hunk of dog poo fell down into the water table it'd ruin the wells of everyone in at least a mile area."

Yeah, like septic systems. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Some years ago, I read about a place in the East (MA?) that had been a livery stable for 30-40 years. It ceased to be an animal-oriented site for the last 50 yrs or so, and it was STILL polluting the local water.

It kind of makes you wonder what those 'modern' cattle feedlots are doing, doesn't it?
