The North Carolina Pork Council has launched a public relations offensive as Hurricane Dorian approaches the state.
The group says the state’s pork industry has
been the victim of misinformation during past hurricanes. It says activists who
oppose animal agriculture often warn of environmental threats from hog farms, even
though post-storm assessments later prove those fears completely unfounded.
