While Purina’s slogan says, “Every pet deserves the best life,” residents in a neighborhood north of Denver say a pet food plant operated by Nestle Purina Petcare Co. robs them of theirs.
After years of complaints about the smell coming from the food plant, residents are suing, alleging that 2,000 households near the plant have consistently been hit with “rancid” and “noxious” odors, according to 9 News.
“Plaintiffs and members of the putative class suffer serious discomfort because of Defendant’s noxious odors that interfere with their use and enjoyment of property,” according to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday and accessed by the television news station.
The suit claims the plant has “failed to install, maintain, operate, develop and/or implement adequate odor mitigating strategies” and wants it declared a nuisance.
