La Oroya boasts a dirty American-owned smelter that has operated there since 1922. The metal smelter is run by the Missouri-based Doe Run Corporation and has reneged on it’s contractual promises to clean up it’s processes. Profit always comes before peoples health and well-being. Doe Run doesn’t give damn about the environment or the people who live in this area. They wouldn’t get away with it in the United States or Europe but in a ‘third-world’ country anything goes. Capitalism has no morality!
