16000 pigs in drinking water, no Political backlash coming?
my jeffolie view: nothing will happen soon to reduce China's unsafe drinking water nor killer smog because the Politics of the Backlash violence remains squashed ... America ignores China's unsafe drinking water and ignores China's killer smog without imposing trade policy to stop importing products from dangereous, unsafe drinking water and killer smog countries.
==================================
Number of dead pigs mysteriously found in Shanghai rivers rises to over 16,000
March 22, 2013
The number of dead pigs recovered in the last two weeks from rivers that supply water to Shanghai has risen to more than 16,000.
The government in China's financial hub said Thursday that 10,570 carcasses have been pulled from its Huangpu river. That is in addition to 5,528 pigs plucked from upstream tributaries in the Jiaxing area of Zhejiang province.
Authorities give daily updates assuring the public that tests show Shanghai's water is safe, but no official has given any full explanation about the massive dumping of pig carcasses.
Hog farmers have told state media that the dumping of swine carcasses is rising because police have started cracking down on the illicit sale of pork products made from dead, diseased pigs.
The state-controlled Southern Weekly newspaper, citing court documents, said three men were sentenced to life prison in Jiaxing last November for procuring dead pigs to sell their meat. It says the men and their group purchased and slaughtered 77,000 dead pigs in a period of more than two years.
Local officials also told Southern Weekly that the city lacks enough facilities to properly dispose of dead pigs. Hog farming is a major business in Jiaxing
