The Environmental Protection Agency has denied a petition by animal rights activists to require CAFO’s to have regulatory emissions permits under the Clean Air Act.
Attorney David Crass with Michael, Best, and Friedrich in Milwaukee says the petition filed by the Humane Society of the U.S. and others in 2009 was just denied in late December, but he’s not surprised by how long it took. He tells Brownfield, “EPA has been studying the issue, and readily admits in their denial letter that the issue is very complex.
