Very close to this tower is a farm --AFAIK, the numerous sheep, goats, horses, etc. that are bred there stay there almost all the time and thus are continuously exposed over their entire lives to whatever the tower supposedly puts out. If there is a cancer hazard from the "radiation", then I'd expect to hear about the premature loss of a lot of prized animals and see a closed business. But I don't. Re: The Tower of Doom.
