China's "Hogwash" Getting Worse As Floating Dead Pigs Rise To 3300, Pig Virus Found
When we first reported on China's "hogwash" yesterday, the number of floating pigs in Shanghai's water supplying Huangpu River was a "modest" 1200. It has since tripled to 3300. From SCMP: "The agriculture and environmental protection departments in Shanghai's Songjiang district have pulled more than 3,300 dead pigs out of the Huangpu River, which flows through the municipality, in the past week." What is worse is that at least one pig-related virus has been found in a water sample: "Porcine circovirus, a common hog disease that is not known to be infectious to humans, was found in a sample taken from the water, Shanghai's animal disease control department was quoted as saying by eastday.com a major Shanghai news portal." The good news is that tests by the Shanghai Animal Disease Prevention and Control Centre on five sets of internal organs taken from the dead pigs has ruled out five other diseases including foot-and-mouth, hog cholera and blue-ear. Of course, this is China, whose disclosure record is second only to Japan, where as a reminder the government said the radiation level was under control days after the Fukushima explosion, even as the reality was far grimmer.
More from SCMP:
The website quoted local water and environmental authorities as saying tests of water samples collected from six sites on the river showed that the poor water quality on the Songjiang district section of the Huangpu, a source of drinking water for Shanghai, was similar to the same period last year.
However, it said tap water from water suppliers in Songjiang and several neighbouring districts was in line with national standards.
According to the dead pigs' ear labels, most of them floated down the river from Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Some were also from Pinghu in Zhejiang or from neighbouring Jiangsu province, xinmin.cn quoted a staff member at the Songjiang District Agricultural Commission as saying.
China News Service quoted an official from Zhejiang's provincial agricultural department as saying that most of the dead pigs were young and they had died at least a month ago. He said that instead of dying from illness, most had died due to cold weather, even though average temperatures in Jiaxing in winter are above zero degrees Celsius.
The district government has asked for help from the municipal government for centralised treatmeant of the carcasses because there were too many for it to handle, the website said.
The Jiaxing Daily, the Communist Party's newspaper in Jiaxing, said the casual disposal of dead pigs was common in the Zhejiang city.
A report in the newspaper on Monday of last week said it had received many complaints from readers about dead pigs.
Expect to read some more about this dead pig onslaught, before the local media quietly but forecfully is told to end all coverage of this latest food-related scandal.

Them sure are some pretty lips, boy.
I would suspect that aerosol dispersants carried via drone are responsible for this economic attack.
Drone chemtrails - now there's an angle.
Here in the US we have had pigs floating around Washington DC near the Potomac River for years. The infection they are spreading is of a particular virulent form which is wiping out the middle class.
"I don't wanna kill, my China pig.
No I don't.
A man's gotta live,
A man's gotta eat,
A man's gotta have shoes
To walk out on the street.
I don't wanna kill, my China pig.
Well he was a baby, I want ya to see.
I don't wanna kill, my China pig.
Well I used to go to school,
With a little red box,
And I used to have my pig go with me,
We walked for blocks.
I don't wanna kill, my China pig."

Floating Pig Beer!
AnBev's newest reduced consumption brew.
Zombie bacon...

Coming soon to beef near you.
its good to see the ministry of dead pigs slave's out there in their little vests,
hauling in the true face of a runaway red china.
Also wondering just how "hot" the carcasses are - Rad-wise?
You stop insulting china pigs! Is nothing like you say! Pigs go swimming and drown! Was accident!! Accident is all! You buy pigs! Cheap!! Or you go now!!!
Clearly bullish. Lots of new pigs need to replace dead pigs. They are just trying to stimulate their economy with some broken window magic.
GDP boost!
the most honest statement i have read is..."the water quality has not been effected".....
Adding 3300 infected pig carcasses didn't degrade the water quality - mental note, never travel to China. No way I'd trust bottled water, let alone tap water.
what a shit hole, physically and philosophically.
Citizenism!
Very disturbing
I'd rather drink Fukushima coolant than dead pig water !
I haven't seen this much pig fucking since Deliverance.
OMG that looks like Arnold Ziffle!
Pig inflation...they first said 300 pigs now it's 3300....who,knows what the real number is....

Is that after somebody nukes the french?
They already nuked themselves. The cost of disassembeling their aging plants will be apocalyptical. Anyone looking directly at the bill will go blind in a flash, suffer skin burns and have a primal urge to move far away.
I hope they don't contain horsemeat!
Don't worry, those are just capitalist pigs.
Sounds like there were 3300 takes at filming the basket-in-the-river scene, for a Moses themed, Chinese "Babe" movie.
"However, it said tap water from water suppliers in Songjiang and several neighbouring districts was in line with national standards".
And said with a perfectly straight face.........Trust us, we are Chinese........
the air quality was rated by the US EPA at the world trade center 3 weeks after 9-11 as...... acceptable?
10 years later they had a fund for the victims working on site
"And said with a perfectly straight face.........Trust us, we are Chinese Americans ........"
That's a nasty bowl of soup right there.
