Talk about being caught red handed.. The investigation continues into pig's blood being illegally drained into Cedar Creek which flows into the Trinity River, where locals enjoy kayaking and other water sports. Hopefully the authorities will shut this place down.

Local, state and federal officials are investigating a century-old meatpacking plant in Texas after a local resident uncovered evidence using his unmanned aircraft. An unidentified man flying a small drone, appropriately called Exposure, captured images of blood flowing through a creek behind Columbia Packing, a 99-year-old slaughterhouse in Dallas.

The drone hobbyist forwarded the pictures to authorities, and environmental inspectors now suspect the company has been illegally dumping pig’s blood directly into Cedar Creek, which flows into Trinity River.

It hit the news:
WFAA
DALLAS - City councilman Dwaine Caraway showed up with a van full of city officials to see exactly what's going on at Columbia Packing. He and others, including a Dallas Police Deputy Chief, were kicked off the property.

"They asked us to leave," Caraway said.

Awesome!! I thought about buying one of those small drones. Great way to keep companies honest and do some backyard journalism.
