We, in the Netherlands have a similar problem. Huge pig farms poisoning the neighboring villages. But, uptill now economic rights have been prevailing humanrights. Not to mention the rights of the pigs, they have horrible lives.

For some strange reason this video carries two titles, I give you both:
"How one village's battle might clean up waterways across Europe" and
"How this village took on the state over poisoned water - and won" [14:57 min]

Update: On 11 July 2025, the Supreme Court of Galicia ruled in favour of the As Conchas campaigners - that pollution from industrial livestock farms violates the fundamental right to living in a healthy environment for tens of thousands of residents in the Spanish region of Galicia. The court ordered the regional authorities to enforce environmental controls and clean up the water systems, after they failed for decades to reign in excrement discharges from the megafarms that have seriously contaminated the local reservoir, river and groundwater.
The landmark decision that cites the Spanish Constitution and European human rights law could set a precedent for other campaigns against industrial agriculture pollution in other part of Europe."
"We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world β€” and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. We'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess."

@JdeB@climatejustice.social As a youth leader in Uganda, I deeply relate to this struggle. The ruling in Galicia is a powerful reminder that environmental justice is a human right. Industrial farming must not override the health of people and nature. We, too, face similar issues and stand in solidarity with communities fighting pollution. Change is possible when voices unite. Let’s push for a cleaner, more just world for all humans, animals, and ecosystems alike. #EcoJustice #YouthForChange
