After the article "Recurring situation of dead pigs dumped everywhere in Quang Binh", local authorities conducted a scene inspection, collected and buried all the pigs.
On October 12, Chairman of the People's Committee of Van Ninh Commune (Quang Ninh District, Quang Binh Province) Nguyen Huu Luong said that after receiving the report, he had sent people to check and bury the pig carcass.
The initial cause was determined to be due to people’s lack of awareness, when they did not bring dead pigs to the concentrated areas prepared by the government. According to predictions, the pigs died due to illness, heat, paralysis, stomachache, diarrhea, etc.
Vice Chairman of Quang Ninh District People's Committee Tran Xuan Tinh informed that timely instructions have been given to overcome the above situation.
“We request the People's Committee of Van Ninh commune to strengthen inspection and control to detect cases of people dumping dead pigs and take measures to handle them according to regulations.
At the same time, continue to collect and bury dead animals that are thrown into the environment. Dig holes, prepare enough lime, disinfectants and notify farms and households to know when there are dead animals and bring them to designated places for disposal" - Mr. Tinh said.
Along with that, direct the Veterinary Department and professional staff to guide farmers to monitor pig herds, apply biosecurity measures in livestock farming; strengthen inspection, grasp the disease situation, and immediately report to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in case of pigs with fever, not eating, or pigs dying of unknown causes to take samples for diagnosis and testing.
Previously, as Lao Dong Newspaper reported, a series of dead pigs were dumped in the cemetery area of Van Ninh commune. Right from the entrance, the stench was so strong that it covered a large area.
Right in the center of the cemetery, there was a hole about 3 square meters wide, where dozens of pigs were thrown, swarming with flies. All of these pigs were in the process of rapid decomposition.
