Government Brutally Killing 40,000 Pigs

al: David Wong Kai Yan

The Hong Kong Government has recently revoked licences of hundreds of local pig farms. Over 40,000 pigs are involved. The government is in the process of killing these pigs, right now. They are using the least expensive way - bullets. Undercover workers has taken appalling pictures, showing the pigs undergoing lengthy pain & struggle and fear as they witness their peers being tortured to death.

We must put a stop on this cruelty.

The government told the farmers to surrender their pigs and assured them that “humane destruction” (“euthanasia”, literally translated) would be given to the pigs free of charge. Instead of keeping its promise, the Government is trying to meet its year-end killing deadline in the cheapest way, by putting on the massacre shows, daily...."
