Protesters say unconventional drilling & fracking exposes their property and water sources to unwarranted risk due to old unplugged oil wells that provide a path to the surface or to underground aquifers. Photos by Laurie Barr

Pig farmers? Really? Its awfully hypocritical for an industry that has destroyed so much land and water to protest an industry that destroys land and water.
The Henry farm is especially vulnerable to the risks associated with fracking because it is located in an area riddled with hundreds of abandoned oil wells from the turn of the 20th century. According to hydro-geologist Daniel Fisher who has studied the area, “Each of these abandoned wells is a potentially direct pathway or conduit to the surface should any gas or fluids migrate upward from the wells during or after fracking.”
8:40:00 Plainly you didn't read that it is an organic pig farm. It is run completely differently than factory pig farming and does not destroy land and water. Fracking however DOES.
Those geysers of sludge are naturally occuring! Get it through your heads!
The drilling isn't going to stop. So what is it they can do to prevent that from happening with these abandoned wells?
They should turn pigsh&t into fuel!
That's a cute pig! I wonder what they are gonna do with it?
Look at all the jobs that pig created. Paint, adheasive, wood, wire, metal, etc. All the materials were manufactured by people.
According to historic maps this well site is constructed on top of an unplugged well.
The fracture zones are located near a large number of unplugged wells,closer to Maggie's home.

Nothing.
Regulation changes are needed. this is fine according to current regulations.
Seems odd that you are not pushing to have the wells plugged. Or would you have to pay to have that done.
