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.
