If this pit is used to bury dead pigs, the ripples on the Internet may not be intense, but live pigs are different. It is also ethically difficult to bury live pigs, although pigs are animals and we often eat food. In addition, because the video does not explain in detail why these pigs should be buried alive, it is even more suspicious and worrying.
Why bury these pigs alive? Is it because these pigs are infected with influenza virus or swine fever? If you are infected with classical swine fever and buried alive without treatment, will it pollute the groundwater source and the surrounding environment? These are all issues that people care about.
It is precisely because of the concern of the general public that the relevant local departments also responded quickly. According to the latest response from the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of Ganjingzi District, Dalian, they organized experts on animal diseases for on-the-spot discussion. They issued the possibility that these pigs were infected with classical swine fever, and preliminarily determined that these pigs had epidemic diarrhea.
At the same time, they also treated the pigs harmlessly and disinfected the surrounding areas of the buried pigs. In addition, the relevant administrative departments also filed an investigation into the incident. However, as of now, it is unknown and the relevant survey results have not been announced. However, since it is an investigation, it will definitely take time, and I believe it will be properly handled in the end.
So, what is the "swine epidemic diarrhea" that causes these pigs to die? Actually, it's an intestinal infection in pigs. Sick pigs will have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and eventually they will die of diarrhea and dehydration. For young pigs, the mortality rate of this virus is very high, and the mortality rate of new pigs can even reach 100%.
Although it is not a daunting swine fever, since it is a sick pig, it will be culled on a large scale in the case of incurable disease, which is also a necessary measure to ensure the safety of consumers' table.
