Chinese Authorities Ignore Dead Pigs in Fuqing City River

While the whole world is in a panic over the threat of swine flu, hundreds of dead pigs are floating in a town river in Fujian Province, China. The stench, along with the possibility of a swine flu epidemic, is unnerving nearby residents. But local authorities are taking no action.

Many large and small sacks containing dead pigs are floating among the lotus plants and have blocked a river at the junction of Shouqi, Huangdun and Xingqiao Villages in Fuqing City, Fujian Province. Residents say some of the stinking sacks have sunk to the river bottom. According to residents, local authorities are ignoring the pigs. "Who cares, there are more over on that side. Over on that side of the bridge if you go and see, there are around 100 more sacks than what you see here." The female resident has seen a car carrying sacks of both small and large pigs. The sacks were thrown directly from the bridge into the river. Residents of Shouqi Village say the dead pigs have been piling up for half a month. Residents say that even a local TV news report on the pigs did not alert local authorities.

Except that its already been confirmed that you cannot catch swine flu from pork or dead pigs - viruses cannot survive inside a dead host.
