Dallas: River of Blood dumps into Trinity River

I tried the search but it said the search was disabled. This is in Dallas in a creek, behind a meat packing plant, that empties into the Trinity. Taken by a hobby drone flier at 400 feet and reported to the Police. http://jalopnik.com/5878689/a-drone-spotted-this-disgusting-river-of-meat-blood-in-texas  A Drone Spotted This Disgusting River Of Meat Blood In Texas A Dallas drone hobbyist was flying his rig around one bright Texan afternoon, scouting the skies, when he hovered across something perturbing: an enormous, oozing river of blood behind a meatpacking plant. That's gross and illegal! Here come the cops. The pilot tells sUAS News his reaction, which sounds remarkably calm given he discovered a huge stream of blood emptying into the Trinity River: I was looking at images after the flight that showed a blood red creek and was thinking, could this really be what I think it is? Can you really do that, surely not? Unfortunately, you can do it! But not legally. Federal and state authorities are now on that meat plant's [censored]—fetid pig blood should not be in waterways—all thanks to aerial diligence. As sUAS News points out, this is the kind of environmental bust that would've likely never happened before the present day. It's also refreshing to see an aerial drone used to discover (and potentially choke) a river of blood, rather than creating one.

I bet that's a good spot to fish I was thinking there's probably a LOT of catfish stacked up where that empties into the creek or river.

I doubt there are any fish where it discharges into the river. The decomposition of the blood will drop oxygen levels and create a dead zone. Who needs EPA regs?!?! Certainly not us.

What a sad day for Dallas and the Trinity. Where were the watchdog agencies all this time? Why did it take a private citizen to uncover this?

There is probably worse stuff in that river than blood.

We had laws against this sort of dumping before the EPA became our economy killer!!
Eliminate the EPA, DOE,DOEd,BOI,DHS,FEMA, ...and I can't remember all the alphabet acronyms money pit agencies....
Keep the military, the CIA, and FBI and get rid of the rest!!!!

Yeah, we had laws...weak laws few followed. http://ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=1642Laws without enforcement are toothless. I guess you don't think the FDA is important either. Spend a lot of time reading? Thinking?

Let a small struggling business fart in the wind and the EPA will shut them down. I guess it's who you are or who you know.

Oh, there are plenty of regs. The problem is no one is enforcing them

And the folks flushing meds down their toilet! Straight through the filtration plants and back into our lakes, thus our drinking water...

The worst thing that pollutes our groundwater are the parents that dont shake the turds out of their baby's dirty disposable diaper before throwing them away. If you read the fine print on a diaper box it tells you to do this, but NO ONE does. Landfills are not waste management sites, and therefore not equipped to handle human waste.
