Children sitting on the doorstep

of their home in Tow Law. During the height of the disposal of animal carcasses in the Tow Law burial site, children were not allowed to play outside because of the overbearing stench. The children are educated at a school only 700 metres from the burial site. The girls’ father is a local farmer whose stock was ‘taken out’ during the slaughter. The carcasses were buried on the farm. The girls’ mother is one of the women charged with failing to leave the land during a demonstration against the burial site.
