I prefer my water with pieces of pig carcasses

A couple of days ago in the Huangpu river in Shanghai hundreds of pig carcasses have washed up ashore. It seems that farmers in the northern part of Shanghai have been disposing the bodies by throwing them in the river instead of burning them (which is required by law).

According to the Shanghai Government the water is still safe to drink... however, according the central government only 3% of China's water is safe to drink... Someone needs to get their facts right.

None the less, according the CNN, many pigs to the north had contracted Porcine Circovirus which is deadly to pigs. According to the farmers in the area 300 pigs were dying daily to this disease.


Currently the carcass count is 7500...

That's a lot of pork......
