Controversy

Further information: 2013 Huangpu River dead pigs incident

In March 2013, some 16,000 pig carcasses were found floating in the Huangpu River in Shanghai.[5] Some of the pigs carried ear tags saying they were from Jiaxing, so that city in Zhejiang may be the source; One news agency indicates that dead pigs are often dumped into rivers in China to avoid the disposal cost. [6] However local farmers deny the dumping allegation.[7]
