China's Animal Apocalypse Spreads To Dogs
First it was floating dead pigs, then ducks, then black swans, then mass chicken exterminations, then fish, and now more pigs and also a brand new entrant to the Chinese animal apocalypse: dogs.
AP reports that hundreds more pigs have been found dead in China - this time together with dozens of dogs. "A total of 410 pigs and 122 dogs were discovered in homes and at farms earlier this week in a village that comes under Yanshi city's jurisdiction in central Henan province, authorities said Wednesday. The city's propaganda office said that the deaths were being investigated but that they suspected they had to do with nearby chemical factories. The factories have been ordered to suspend production and help police with a criminal investigation into the incident, according to a report on a Henan provincial news website."
One would assume that something is responsible for these mass animal deaths, and one of these years, not the propaganda office, but someone actually accountable (so not CNN) will report what it is. Although we are not holding our breath, which if one were to live in Beijing, would not be a bad idea.
No poisonous gases have been found in tests on the air around the village and its drinking water has met quality standards, said the report, which the propaganda office confirmed.
Local authorities said the deaths have nothing to do with any epidemic or the H7N9 bird flu virus that has recently spread to humans.
Last month, more than 16,000 dead pigs were found in rivers that supply water to Shanghai. The dumping has not been explained, though police had been cracking down on the illegal sale of pork products made from dead, diseased pigs.
Perhaps the whole point of this animal apocalypse is to force local people to avoid any of the meats impacted and focus only on vegetables, thus preventing a surge in food prices at a time when virtually the entire world's hot money, not to mention the record credit injections by the PBOC itself, threaten to find their way into the food supply. That, however, would be too morbid to even consider: we will just wait for the Chinese ministry of truth to deny it first before we even consider it...
In other news, and deepening the mystery of the Chinese Bird Flu, we learn that " a number of people who have tested positive for a new strain of bird flu in China appear to have had no contact with poultry, adding to the mystery about a virus that has killed 17 people to date."
Chinese authorities have slaughtered thousands of birds and closed some live poultry markets to try to slow the rate of human infection, but many questions remain unsolved, including whether the H7N9 strain is being transmitted between people.
WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl confirmed that "there are people who have no history of contact with poultry", after a top Chinese scientist was quoted as saying this applied to about 40 percent of those infected.
"This is one of the puzzles still (to) be solved and therefore argues for a wide investigation net," Hartl said in emailed comments.
Hartl an international team of experts going to China soon would include in their investigation the possibility that the virus can be spread between people, although there was "no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission".
"It might be because of dust at the wet markets, it could be another animal source beside poultry, it could also be human-to-human transmission," he said by telephone.
So even more confusion about everything as the deaths mount, as well as increasing social tension and fear.
At the end of the day who wins in a situation like this? The government, of course, something the leaders of every undemocratic nation eagerly applaud.

"410 pigs and 122 dogs" - Sounds like a bunch of Americans at a Chineses buffet!
AnAnonymous is behind it. He's trying to scare all the Chineses away from pork, chicken, ducks, and fish in order to drive business to his JKC* franchise.
*Just Killed Cat, popular Chinese citizenism fastfood franchise chain.
People getting all worked up over MSG's in their Chinese might have their concerns focused on the wrong thing.
The fuck is going on over there?
"You hear they found dead dogs in the river today?" "Really?!" "Yeah, I Shitzu not!"
Yeah, the whole river was Pug-ged up.....
Pertinent & Serious Question... 'WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?

"Oh so solly. You order Sharpei, no?"
"No! I ordered chow mein special!
"Ohhhhhhhh. You order noodle. So solly."
Are there American Buffets in China? Hot dogs, apple pie...
If it was bad enough to kill that many pigs and dogs, it is hard to imagine villagers have somehow managed to remain unaffected. It seems strange there is no mention of village residents.
LOL, we Americans really are a bunch of fatasses.
hahahahaha
Taco Bell unleashed
"floating dead pigs, then ducks, then black swans, then mass chicken exterminations, then fish, and now more pigs and also a brand new entrant to the Chinese animal apocalypse: dogs"
They are all food in China.
hot dog
working its way up the foodchain...
Funny we aren't reading anything about cats.
Cats wouldn't help this story. Nobody likes cats.
Now, if they started floating dead baby harp seals down the river, or endangered manatees or something like that..... THEN you have a news story.
Manatees aren't endangered in Florida, well, at least not the ones from the UK and Germany...
"Cats wouldn't help this story. Nobody likes cats."
Are you kiddin? most liberal white women raise cats instead of children. Which is actually a good thing in the bigger picture.
I am going to resist making jokes about eating pussy. Iam going to... re...sist...
They've got nine lives.
I already spent three...
So will the elderly in this country at the rate we're going down the shitter...
Live vines too!! They entangle you....
What would really be funny is dead banksters floating down the river. Would throw everyone's suspicions off.
The only things NOT on the Chinese menu: "Wolf's heart and Dog's lungs"
How perfect would it be if it all turned out to be Monsanto's fault.
The perfect set-up for moar protectionism ...
Apple named in Chinese porn probeIf a "nearby factory" is leading to the deaths of one type of mammal, then....
Bullish for American pork and poultry producers, bring it!
Warren knew it. Meat trains to the Pacific.
easier to pack meat in a plane than people and American needs help - "meat planes to the Pacific" - Fixed.
Just another example of the eternal disease blobbing-up nature of 'chinese' dead animal citizenism.
Make me yack.
AnAnoyingpuss would be proud.
.
Leave 'em out in the sun for a few days and you'll see some extreme blobbing up.
That's kicking in row z, Chinese citizenism style.
Dogs are sacred. What a sin. Hang those Fuckers!

Fucking terrible though. That place is going to be the engine that is driving the world?
Think it just spun a bearing.

Third world crap hole no matter how hard they try.
17 people have died as a result of bird flu and that's supposed to frighten me? Hell we have that many in one day from work related injuries. They need a more frightening meme.

Thirty people lost their lives!"

Dr. E, if this virus truly can spread person to person with people having no native immunity this really could be the beginnings of a world pandemic. With world travel allowing people to move within hrs across the globe this really could be serious. Work accidents,though tragic for the individual and their families, don't compare to this. Don't be complacent about the small numbers. A small spark still has the potential to cause a devastating firestorm. I watch this story unfold with nervous caution and am praying big time this just burns out.
Miffed;-)
Given the devastation of lives & whatnot of the past 30 yrs. I'll be praying for an accurate cluster, around 2 geographic locations.
The whole country is a toxic cesspool.
No Humans...from a chemical leak..that sounds kind of strange...how are the houses selling in that area???? I hope they have a good neighborhood watch program...as there are no dogs anymore ...
Genetic illness, veterinary bill, short life span...If who love animals,you don't buy Pedigree Dogs.
they keep fucking like another kid is going to solve the problem. mankind has a serious genetic flaw
Spot....Spot...Oh Spot...where are you...come to Daddy....
Now where can he be?
I think India still holds the record. Wasn't it a cyanide plant that farted and killed a ton of locals?
Bhopal. Union Carbide (American company) did it. The plant was located in a huge shantytown but they cut corners with reckless abandon. Result: Thousands of poor brown people dead (body count fuzzy), over half a million injured due to breathing methyl isocyanate. Bullish.
Ummmm
Shar Pei and crackers
Antibacterial marketing... OCD's are dangerous !
US government admitted poisoning 200 birds which fell dead from the sky. The fellows you have to call to protect the environment at work.

You have to give them credit for calling a spade a spade. I can't help think that the sheeple here in the states might have a slightly more realistic perspective if we called our MSM shills 'propaganda officers'. Instead they're called 'fair and un-biased reporters' and the sheeple say 'baaahhh'.
But . . but Tom Friedman says China's an exemplary country for environmental policy. He also admires and envies their dictatorship. I hope someone leaves copies of stories like this at his desk at the failing ny times and at his 11,000 square foot, solar panel free mansion in Maryland. It's tough being an aristocrat when your policy prescriptions for the peasants don't look good.
Plus One!
snakes are next
'cause this is the year of the snakes
So those stinkin job-killing regulations need to be done away with - what is needed is free unfettered capitalism and all will be well throughout the land - we now have confirmation in china!
EPA - environment protection act
OSHA - occupational safety & health act
PF&DA - pure food & drug act
GS - glass steagall act
all bad all the time
be a good american: rob, cheat, steal and pollute until the end game inevitably comes around
Potential flu epidemic in its early stages there in Shanghai. Of those contracting this strain it has something like a 95% death rate... not good.
Phuking not good, that's for sure!
I guess dog meat prices are going to go up- bad news for seniors.
If China has a MAJOR crisis -- whether natural or man-assisted -- this is bad for the Fed, the USD and the Neocons, how?
Go Fed, go USAMRIID (usamriid.army.mil), go CIA. /s
Actually I'm a little surprised they had any dogs left in China. Figured they'd all been eaten by now.
Miffed;-)
I figured most of the dogs in China had been woofed down.
Spent 3 weeks travelling throughout China 30 years ago. Laid eyes on precisely one dog and he was on
a junk floating down the Yangzte. Damn neared starved to death but a Canadian couple gave me
granola bars. Remy Martin made up the balance of my diet. A total shithole country then and now.
I feasted upon returning to Hong Kong like a freed prisoner. As a sidenote, I actually saw a guy handstart
a truck with a crank in front of the engine....something straight out of cartoons from my youth. Do not believe
their hype.
My mother-in-law toured China about the same time you did for a whole month and came home with some pretty horrific stories. She witnessed on her first day a young boy on a bike weaving through people with a lightly scorched dog on the handle bars. She could never forget the tortured look of the skull frozen in a malevolent grin as it passed by. After that she only ate rice and beer for the rest of her travels. She lost 15 lbs and that was a lot because she is a very tiny thin women to begin with. Needless to say, I've never had an inclination to visit.
Miffed;-)
Boozer said, "As a sidenote, I actually saw a guy handstart a truck with a crank in front of the engine..."
Where I live, you do that to start the animals, too, on cold mornings.
Thank goodness there's no KFC (Kentucky Fried Canine) anywhere near me!
Edit: I just want to add, I love my animals and I would never harm them.
Chairman Mao would be proud. Go China!!!
Dogz, bitchez.
Shar Pei diem

Here is something that is actually cheering:
When Chinese people move to the U.S., at least from what I've seen, and I've seen a lot of it, they are just as doting and devoted dog owners as Americans are.
Sometimes hideous behavior really is due to a being in a hideous situation. Sometimes.

China is a paper giant, with so many of its own problems it could collapse on its own just like the late USSR.
They have been poisoning their entire water supply, food supply, and population for decades now. And no matter how hard they have tried to hide it, it is now becoming obvious how bad it is over there.
Communism will always fail. The bigger they are the harder they fall.
