I'll bet a couple of U.S. hog companies are sorry they opposed a Missouri-community bylaw to regulate hog farms.
They managed to persuade a judge to throw out the law that local residents voted to implement, but now they face a $1.95-million judgement awarded by a Barton County jury.
Twelve people filed the lawsuit, complaining that the pigs owned by Synergy of Iowa and raised locally by Kemona, ruined their lives. The jury agreed.
