Social and political criticisms
From Epoch times
A total of 8354 pigs have been fished out of river near the town of Jiaxing, in the Sheijiang province. The river is source of drinking water. The South China Morning Post reported that the Sheijiang villagers dumped the pigs in the river because of lack of proper dumping facilities. The dead pigs were reportedly being sold in the blackmarket for as little as 12 yuans each ; to be made into meat sauce. There was a reported crackdown on the black market.
Another said that the pigs were also sold to butchers who sold them to the public (dd - double dead) The pigs were reported to have died from porcine circovirus.
The big issue here is the contamination of the drinking water?
Why 8,000 pigs were dumped without authorities noticing? Or was this tolerated because of lack of dumping facilities?
Could cremation have done a much better job?
