Meat pollution?

Surely there is such a thing as smell pollution?
I work in town and every now and again (though it feels more often than that) there is a crap market that takes up the WHOLE OF THE STREET! I hate it. (It's there right now, hence the moan)
There are always, right outside my shop, a "Meats of the World" stall, cooking its stinking Ostrich and Bison and other things that would be much better alive, and a "Hog Roast", complete at 8am with a pig (including its head)... this pig (as the name suggests) roasts AAAAAAALL day long.... and to keep him moist.... a cup of water is poured all over him. So come 2pm when all the idiots go and buy some meat carved from the pig.... its just grisle and water... nice.
But my main problem is the SMELL. It's disgusting. I don't eat meat thus I don't want rotating animals spinning round in a hot box right in front of me but even my carnivorous chums agree that the smells are foul.
Just think.... combine this hideous cooked animal smell with Paella, donuts, chocolate waffles, garlic potatoes.... oh yes Yum Yum... but not all together and not all day long when you're trying to work.
And the people that go to it must be total chumps! Its so expensive. They sell all manner of crap t extortionate prices... I made the error of trying to buy a chunk of coconut ice wants nd it went a little bit like this:
Me: "please may I have a piece of cocnut ice?"
Man: "no. we don't sell it by the piece. It's £4.50 for 100g"
Me: "OK, doesn't matter" (walks way)
Man: (panics) "no! wait! we do! I'll do this once!"
Me: "Oh so you do do it."
Man: "£1"
Me: Holy shit I should've just gone to Marks and Spencer.......... £1 for a piece... a SMALL piece.... of coconut ice. Never again
nd so this cycle must go on on on on all the day and I must breathe in the hideous stench.

    It would make me very angry and sad having to watch the poor pig carcass spin all day :(

    .....that market is way too expensive, your right.
