Controversy

edit

In March 2013, some 16,000 pig carcasses were found floating in the Huangpu River in Shanghai.[5] Some of the pigs carried ear tags saying they were fromJiaxing, so that city inZhejiang may be the source; one news agency indicates that dead pigs are often dumped into rivers in China to avoid the disposal cost.[6]However local farmers deny the dumping allegation.[7]
