Monkey-breeding facility poses threat

Editor, The Sun:

I am writing regarding the proposed macaque-breeding facility in my hometown of Bainbridge Georgia. “Project Liberty” causes concerns because the daily volume of bio-hazardous wastes that would be generated is enormous from over 30,000 animals. We are worried about the possible chemical and biological impacts to the health of our region’s citizens, and to our air, groundwater (aka the huge S.W. GA/N. FL underground aquafer), the Flint River, soil, livestock and farming operations. The Flint flows to Lake Seminole on into the Apalachicola River then the Gulf. We are worried about interspecies virus transfers to human populations. You already know this area is a hurricane- and tornado-prone area that would seriously challenge the company’s ability to safely confine 30,000 such animals during storm events. Thus, there is a great risk of having an invasive species not just in Decatur County but in all of this area. Yes, your backyard! Central Florida is already experiencing this. I ask that you help in the fight by contacting your local, state, and U.S. government officials, join the Facebook community forum, “No Monkey Breeding Bainbridge, GA!”, and visit STANDUPBAINBRIDGEGA.COM
By the way, my mother still lives in Bainbridge. My sister and her sons and grandchildren still live there.
