Four Million Animals and Counting Buried Alive in South Korea
When a disease outbreak strikes animal agribusiness, here is South Korea’s method for dealing with the problem: they dig an enormous hole, dump live animals into it by the thousands, and use excavators to push the dirt back over it. Over the past two months, to combat a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, the country has killed more than a million pigs in this way….
I just can’t even think of what to say. I just can’t believe anyone could do that.
FYI foot and mouth disease is EXTREMELY hard to catch from infected animals. I understand that it can destroy a herd of animals, but this is seriously what their solution is? It’s called quarantining the infected animals, not killing ALL of them. fuck. me.
I DONT WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE.poor babies… I am so sorry.
Why is this not bringing about rage?
Why is there not a huge uprising about this?
Why was a possible censorship on the internet receiving more attention than this?
Why do some of the world’s most powerful people spend their time deleting megavideo and crying over copyright issues instead of doing something about horrific atrocities such as this?
Why the fuck are human beings so callous and completely heartless?
Why do I have to be a part of humanity.
EDIT: Click here to write an email to the Ambassador and give pigs a chance at a quick and painless death (the least we can do).

I read that you could hear the painful squeals of the pigs even when the dirt had covered them. They did not die right...
I could really go for a bacon sandwich about now.
This is why I became Vegan.
Because this is horrific.
i wish this wasn’t real….. WTF!
I fucking hate Korea…adding this to my list of grievances.
