Why would you find cattle slurry in the country but not in city's?

Answer 1

People often complain more than they realize. When you get a large number of people complaining about something, chances are that something will be moved or eliminated from their area of work or residence. Thus the greater the density of a population, the more complaints you get and the more pressure is put on your shoulders to change something to satisfy them. This is what happens in the city, and why you will find no slurry from cattle in the city.

Let me put it this way: The smell from cattle slurry is not a pleasant smell, especially to those who are not used to it or have never gotten used to such a foul odor before. Most of the people in a city are sensitive to negative things which affect their sensory organs, from bad smells to bad sights (like smoke). When you get a large number of people, as a collective group, that complain about such bad smells as slurry from a dairy operation, you can be sure that something will have to be done about it, or you can be sure that having such stinky substances in the city is going to generate a lot of negativity from the urban residences.

By now I would think you would realize why such slurries are kept out in the country: low population density (people are living in such close proximilty to each other like in the city: often you'd get a population density anywhere from 4 people per acre to 1 person per 100 acres) begets low to zero complaints about the presence of such a stinky substance. Also, people out in the country are quite used to the smell to the point where they don't mind it at all. (Country folk are more likely to smell the slurry when it's being spread out on the fields, but no complaints are generated because they understand that, besides the smell, the slurry is needed on the fields due to added fertility needed to grow crops on).
