Association
for the Preservation of the Bouctouche Watershed.
The Association
is launching a fund raising campaign with the goal of collecting
$100,000. Part of the funds raised will be used to undertake the
necessary studies in order to evaluate the environmental consequences
of having a mega hog factory situated in Sainte-Marie. Hiring of
lawyers, biologists and other experts will be necessary to insure
proper assessment.

Dans l'immédiat,
la priorité est de lancer et de gérer une campagne
de financement dont l'objectif est de recueillir 100 000$. Cette
somme servira, en partie, à défrayer les coûts
associés
aux études nécessaires afin d’évaluer les conséquences
environnementales de l'installation d'une méga porcherie
à Sainte-Marie. L'embauche d'avocats, de biologistes et d'autres
experts s'avère nécessaire pour réaliser cette
étude.Texte
