    They said it because the government told them to say it. The government didn't want the people to know what really killed those pigs.

    That may be true when you look at the video on the main link the pig is surrounded by bottles,plastic.rubber.trash,etc.

    I saw a do entary on the people in china that live hear a river they have been living off of for centuries and the leather tanning plant and others upstream were dumping so many chemicals the water burns the feet of the people.

    The pollution of China is exactly what the USA would look like if the Repugs succeed in killing all regulation of the environment and let the corporations run wild over soil, sub-soil, air, water.

    Why in would they want to? It is irresponsibility that does such things, and in my liew, there are far more irresponsible liberal/democrats than conservative/republicans.

    I think it's ed up that regulations are in place to keep others from abusing the freedoms of their works and property.

    China's Dead-Hog Scandal Is Gross—But So Is the Hog Feces in US Waterways

    we don't do a very good job of protecting our waterways from the hog industry, either. Consider Iowa, which houses around 18 million hogs, making it our most hog-intensive state. All of those hogs concentrated into a relatively small space generate unthinkable amounts of toxic manure. How much? Food & Water Watch weighs in:
    ads not by this site


    • The nearly 733,000 hogs on factory farms in Plymouth County, Iowa, produce twice as much untreated manure as the sewage from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
    • The more than 857,000 hogs on factory farms in Hardin County, Iowa, produce three times as much untreated manure as the sewage from the greater Atlanta metro area.
    • The more than 1 million hogs on factory farms in Sioux County, Iowa, produce as much untreated manure as the sewage from the Los Angeles and Atlanta metro areas combined.


    And it's not just hogs that are crammed into the state's factory farms. According to FWW, Iowa's vast confinement facilities also house 1.2 million beef cattle, 52.4 million egg-laying hens, 1 million broiler chickens, and 64,500 dairy cows. Altogether, this teeming horde annually churns out "as much untreated manure as the sewage from 471 million people—more than the entire US population."
    Keeping such anic amounts of out of water is a near futile task.


    As you might imagine, keeping such anic amounts of out of water is a near futile task. There are occasional spectacular incidents—FWW points to the time in 2008 when spring floods "destroyed at least 3 hog factory farms near Oakville, drowned up to 1,500 hogs and flooded manure from storage pits downstream into waterways throughout eastern Iowa." And according to the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, a group that fights factory farming in Iowa, there have been more than 800 do ented in Iowa since 1995.
