Farmers who dumped over 50 dead animals in a river are being hunted by police. Horrified sanitation workers stumbled upon the rotting corpses of 55 pigs, geese and sheep after locals complained about the taste of their water in the village of Jinli in south-eastern China’s Fuijan province. Villager Shuang Hsu, 59, said: "We began to notice our water was tasting a bit strange but we had no idea it was because of this. "When we found out we were absolutely sickened. "The water from the river runs directly to our village and is our main source of water." Medics were called in to test the villagers’ drinking water for contamination and the locals for any signs of illness. No signs of illness have been found yet. A spokesman for the sanitation department said: "When officers arrived at the river they were greeted with a horrific sight and smell. "Most of the animals seem to have been either been born with deformities and were killed by the farmers or had contracted illnesses and were then killed. "They were all dumped here. "The proper disposal of dead animals usually involves burying them en masse underground to prevent the spread of disease or contamination of important water sources. "These farmers are in flagrant abuse of the rules and are endangering lives." Police say they are now looking for the farmers involved. A police spokesman said: "The communities around here are fairly small so there is only a certain number of suspects. "When we have found them they will be heavily fined." (ends) |
