An open pit with dozens of dead pigs left by a local farmer was discovered in the territory of the village of Tolshchev, Pustomytovsky district, Lviv region.

Behind a rural pig farm are carcasses of pigs in a sewage pit. A resident of the village Igor Dumansky considers the pit a source of epidemics that can spread rapidly due to carriers.

Over the past year, the number of flies in the village has doubled, the peasant said. Local residents claim that many more bones lie in the fields, and under the feet of sewage from a pig farm. From them the stench spreads through the village.

The head of the village council, to which the village of Tolshchev belongs, knows nothing about the cattle burial ground. But aware of the sewage in the field. He noted that the farmer is installing new equipment so that they do not leak out, but for now, you will have to wait with cleanliness.

According to farmer Nikolai Paladiychuk, a local resident deliberately broke a pipe, so sewage flowed into the field. As for the carcasses of pigs in the pit, he did not attach much importance to this fact. The farmer said that he could not bury them because of the rains, since there was no access for the tractor, and promised to rectify the situation.Leaving animal remains in the open is prohibited by law. In the Lviv region there is a special enterprise that processes carcasses of cattle. The farm owner now faces a fine for environmental damages.

The head of the village council will also pay a fine for silence about sewage in the fields. At a minimum, this will be the amount of 1.7 thousand UAH.
