OMG! What is going on?
Tons of dead fish wash up dead in Iceland!
15,000 crocs get loose during floods in Africa!
Now the number of dead pigs found in a river running through China's commercial hub Shanghai had reached more than 13,000!
"The Shanghai government said workers pulled 335 pigs out of the Huangpu river, which supplies 22 percent of the city's drinking water, on Monday, bringing the total to 9,795 since the infestation began earlier this month."
"Samples of the dead pigs have tested positive for porcine circovirus, a common swine disease that does not affect humans."
"The Shanghai government said in its statement that the quality of drinking water remained within national standards, despite widespread worries over water quality among the city's 23 million residents."
"In Wenling, also in Zhejiang, authorities announced last week that 46 people had been jailed for up to six-and-a-half years for processing and selling pork from more than 1,000 diseased pigs."
"China faced one its biggest food-safety scandals in 2008 when the industrial chemical melamine was found to have been illegally added to dairy products, killing at least six babies and making 300,000 people ill."
"In another recent incident, the American fast-food giant KFC faced controversy after revealing that some Chinese suppliers provided chicken with high levels of antibiotics, in what appeared to be an industry-wide practice."

Along with the horsemeat-in-the-lasagna scandal, it certainly puts you off take-away and supermarket frozen food!
I guess not only will pigs need to learn to fly in China, they also need to learn to swim as well ๐ฎ
