Massive factory farm gets green light
The village of Grubbenvorst in the south-east of the country is to become home to a massive factory farm with 1.3 million chickens and 35,000 pigs, the local council agreed on Tuesday night.
The site will also include a manure processing plant and slaughterhouse. Over 150 locals took part in a demonstration against the plan.
