I used to pass a pig farm on my way to work. I had to remember to roll
the windows up before I got to it in case they were agitating the manure
tank. If I forgot to do that the smell got in and it took a few miles
with the windows open to clear out. When I first moved to this house my
neighbour had about a dozen pigs. On the still hot summer nights I could
smell them from my place.

The all time worst has to be seals and sea lions. I worked at a marine
park for a while and never noticed a problem because they always seemed
to do their business in the water. There was a massive filtration system
so there was never a smell. One weekend there was work done on the pool
and the seals and sealions were penned up without access to the pool for
about 36 hours. The stench in there was unbelievable. It was worse than
walking into the Pig and Sheep section of the Winter Fair.
