Controversy
In March 2013, some 16,000 pig carcasses were found floating in the Huangpu River in Shanghai. 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. However, local farmers deny the dumping allegation. ==See also==
