En una victoria hist\u00f3rica, cientos de miembros de la comunidad, principalmente negros y de color, de Carolina del Norte Oriental obtuvieron una serie de demandas judiciales por acci\u00f3n colectiva contra Smithfield por el da\u00f1o p\u00fablico causado por las granjas de cerdos de la f\u00e1brica. Las granjas de la f\u00e1brica de Smithfield, ubicadas en gran medida en comunidades de color, producen cantidades ingentes de residuos animales, lo que agrava el problema de los malos olores y el aire irrespirable que sufren los vecinos. Grupos locales de base han estado trabajando durante mucho tiempo organizar contra la producci\u00f3n masiva de ganado por parte de las empresas<\/a> y seguir\u00e1n siendo los l\u00edderes del movimiento por la justicia ambiental. En colaboraci\u00f3n con estas comunidades, el bufete de abogados Wallace & Graham logr\u00f3 obtener $453,5 millones de d\u00f3lares en da\u00f1os para diez demandantes en la primera demanda presentada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smithfield apel\u00f3 contra las sentencias, alegando que la granja Kinlaw Farms, que era la contratista de Smithfield para cultivar los cerdos, deber\u00eda haber estado involucrada en la demanda. Sin embargo, Kinlaw Farms, que Smithfield hab\u00eda contratado para cultivar los cerdos en su nombre, no ten\u00eda voz en c\u00f3mo se criaban los cerdos. Smithfield quer\u00eda presentar una narrativa falsa seg\u00fan la cual la demanda atacaba a los agricultores familiares, cuando en realidad desafiaba las pr\u00e1cticas industriales nocivas que impon\u00edan a los granjeros contratados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FarmSTAND (anteriormente el Food Project en Public Justice) present\u00f3 un amicus brief en apoyo de los demandantes para explicar por qu\u00e9 Smithfield, y solo Smithfield, deber\u00eda ser considerada responsable de sus pr\u00e1cticas sucias. Smithfield controla completamente la forma en que los productores contratados cultivan sus cultivos: desde lo que alimentan a sus animales hasta c\u00f3mo desechan sus residuos. Al proporcionar al tribunal estos datos, FarmSTAND demostr\u00f3 por qu\u00e9 los demandantes ten\u00edan raz\u00f3n al excluir a Kinlaw Farms de las acciones legales iniciales y exigir responsabilidades a Smithfield por sus pr\u00e1cticas abusivas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cuarto Circuito estuvo de acuerdo, consolidando la hist\u00f3rica victoria de las comunidades y obligando a Smithfield a pagar por sus pr\u00e1cticas contaminantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
