How did dead pigs end up in Shanghai river?

[Maxus-MIFA9]

How come nearly 3000 'Chu Pa Chieh' decendants landed in Shanghai River .....

 

Some believe that those pigs got some kind of virus and died. The farmer then dump them into the river.

 

hmmmmmm............ can forget eating roasted pork in Shanghai for the time being while holidaying there ......

 

 

 

 

 

From Yahoo : Thousands of dead pigs found in Shanghai river

Nearly 3,000 dead pigs have been found floating in Shanghai's main waterway, the Chinese city's government said Monday as residents expressed fears over possible contamination of drinking water.

 

Shanghai's water bureau said over the last two days workers had fished 2,813 pigs out of the Huangpu river, which cuts through the commercial hub and creates its waterfront Bund district.

 

In the southwestern district of Songjiang Monday, workers used long-handled rakes to pull the bloated animal carcasses, which were turning from pink to grey, out of the water onto a small boat, an AFP photographer witnessed.

 

The stench of rotting pork hung over the river as workers dumped the partially disintegrating bodies into the hold.

 

The dead pigs included both piglets and adults weighing hundreds of pounds, the Shanghai city government said.

Shangai gets most of its drinking water from the 黄浦江..even if one avoids the pork..there's still the water

I thought they wouldn't waste them by dumping the carcass and use them to make luncheon meat.
