    They talked about this in the 70s british tv show 'The Good Life' - they used pigs and chickens manure to power a hand-built generator so that they won't have to rely on the electricity company.

    you can use poop for your plants i use rabbit or chicken and i have a profitable garden i dont like chemicals on the plants i eat you do have to let the poop cool off for about a month because when its fresh it will burn your plants they will turn yellow and die but you can use it my plants do very well with chicken and my two year old loves eggs but here is your lesson on poo.

    Honestly, we do not know if this man is a conservative or not, and who are we to judge him?? He clearly stated he was a Capitalist.... meaning, that if you live in the U. S. you are trying anyway possible to make money and you will do whatever to survive. The more difficult the economy, the more aggressive the tactic used to make the cash. I consider myself a neutral leftist, and yes, a Capitalist, but I would not choose a slaughterhouse as my Avenue of decent into the annals of this bankrupt nations' economy. Capitalism is a Romantic Arena for our culture.

    Somebody save those poor pigs and send them to a pig sanctuary so they can live the rest of their lives in dignity and good health. Completely unnecessary and wrong. Greedy, ignorant, cruel humans.....

    +Ray RayRay Lol, I understand that recycling the poop is a smart thing to do rather than let it go to waste... But raising, slaughtering, and eating pigs is not necessary for human health and human survival, and in fact is wasteful and harmful for the environment and human health. If you're telling me that those pigs have good lives being all crammed up indoors then you live in a warped reality. Also educate yourself on what an animal sanctuary is, watch some videos, they are safe havens for animals that come from factory farming conditions and allowed to live the rest of their lives in dignity.
