What nonsense, Alex. Whatever the alleged reason, it does not give

IMO, the fact that the pork industry paid for laws to be passed that
allow zero local control of such quality-of-life destroying,
environmental nuisances leaves VC little choice. Ugly laws let farmers
negatively impact their neighbors with these filth factories, and ugly
eminent domain laws may let one neighbor fight back. If anything, it's
a case of pr*ck vs. pr*ck.
Yeah, it's a shitty situation, Alex, I agree with you. But in this
particular case, starting a petition, writing letters to the
newspaper, and about a hundred other ways of alerting people to a
potential problem would be a lot more effective than basically trying
to steal someone's farm for pennies. That just alienates most others
who might have agreed with them had they not been so underhanded.
And if this does go through--which I doubt at this point--wouldn't
that be proof if ever there was proof, of how effective karma can be?
And aren't they the ones who are always rationalizing other's bad luck
by saying it's just their karma coming back? Well, now maybe they'll
get a whiff of their own--one load of crap wafting in the direction of
another. Perfect poetic justice if you ask me.
