DAVID Harding-Price (September 24) highlights the connection between the farming community and the Conservative vote with regards to the Nocton super-dairy.

The dairy is reminiscent of a disturbing film called Soylent Green, starring Charlton Heston.

The citizens of a future city were imprisoned within perimeter walls and denied access to the countryside, which was reserved for the political elite.

Soylent Green was a staple foodcake, which proved to be made secretly from the bodies of dead citizens.

I believe we will pay dearly for abusing the animal kingdom with such super-dairies, denying the cows pasture.

I believe that society's indifference to animal husbandry is not unlike the once widespread acceptance of slavery, when even the Church had holdings in slave enterprises and revered politicians such as the US's founding father, George Washington, owned more than 300 slaves.

We should all be ashamed of what is done in or name to satisfy our purse and appetites.
