In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

Two Farmers in Bradford County Tell Their Stories: Fracking
An interview with two PA dairy farmers about their experience with the natural gas industry.
Why do these companies get away with this and why does our government do nothing? The truth is that they care nothing about the public and they know they are untouchable. From the governor of Pa on down we are looked upon not as humans who have had their lives ruined, but as just something standing in the way of this industry. a
Jhn- Thanks for your comment. I completely agree. We are just collateral damage. Human beings and animals matter not to the natural gas industry. Making money for the fabulously wealthy CEOs and also the shareholders is the top priority. What happened to caring for people and their well-being?
