On July 20, the People's Committee of Phong Nha commune (Quang Tri province) said that it is sending officers to check information about many dead pigs thrown into streams in the area.
Previously, Facebook spread a livestream recording images of many dead pigs dumped in a stream in Phong Nha commune. The livestream performer said that many pigs were discovered while passing through the area.
The leader of Phong Nha Commune People's Committee said that he had grasped the information of the incident and was conducting an on-site inspection to determine the specific location and origin.
Local authorities recommend that people do not throw animal carcasses into the environment, especially when the risk of animal diseases is showing signs of complicated developments.
