(ECNS) — Three disposal sites where diseased pigs were dumped have been excavated and refilled after disinfection work was completed on Friday afternoon with no infectious diseases found, according to a circular released by the Huzhou government in East China’s Zhejiang Province.
The authority said over 223.5 tons of decomposed carcasses and sludge have been excavated and will be incinerated.
Local police found Huzhou Industrial and Medical Waste Treatment Co. had shipped pigs that died of disease to a landfill rather than for incineration between 2013 and 2014.
Digging and cleaning work began on Sept 1. A sample test by the city’s agricultural department said that no human-infecting pig diseases such as H5 and H7 bird flu viruses and foot-and-mouth disease had been found.
The local environmental service center will carry out an environment impact assessment, according to Xinhua News Agency. The Zhejiang provincial government has also sent inspectors to oversee the treatment process.
Five people have been detained following the inquiry.

A similar story I read today and was also totally grossed out – we hear so much about zoonotic diseases as a threat to future humanity, but it looks like we’re our own worst danger, to ourselves and all other life on the planet! I truly hope this isn’t the future:

And this is an American city. Just imagine as the human population continues to swell to 11 billion! As a commenter noted, street washing is only going to wash raw sewage, dirty drug needles, and other garbage right out into the bay. The poor planet and its other inhabitants. 😦
All those lives lost . . .
16 died, and 300 hospitalized! This is what happens when both political parties lead the country astray. Conservatives don’t want to pay for social programs, and liberals think civil rights extend to living in the street when the mentally ill and people with drug and alcohol problems should be hospitalized for health and safety of themselves and others.
