Dead pigs with Sequential numbers
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported the situation of dead pigs thrown into the Phuoc Hoa - Dau Tieng water channel. This canal flows through many localities of Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc. The dead pigs have consecutive numbers. During the floating process, the pigs began to decompose, giving off a foul smell and were stung by insects. Not only the dead pigs, but also the chickens and dogs floating on the canal. These dead pigs are stuck in a garbage net in the area of Minh Tan commune, Dau Tieng district, Binh Duong province.
Southern Irrigation Exploitation Company Limited said that in just a short time in early 2025, the unit has recovered 300 fish. The situation of cattle carcasses being thrown into the canal has lasted until now, with one attack every few days.
According to Southern Irrigation Exploitation Company Limited, Phuoc Hoa water channel and Dau Tieng lake serve domestic and industrial water for 5 provinces and cities including: Tay Ninh, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Long An and Ho Chi Minh City. Throwing dead pigs into canals risks spreading the epidemic and polluting the water supply for 5 provinces and cities.
