Human cruelty to animals: Pigs and piglets buried alive due to disease.

Coronavirus: Are pigs buried alive? – The most important thing at the beginning:

A photo is currently being shared on social media showing pigs and piglets being buried alive. A cruel human intervention to contain not the coronavirus, but foot and mouth disease in South Korea.

Disturbing photo of a pig culling

Our contacts report an image that is shared on social networks.
In the picture you can see how sick pigs and piglets are buried alive. But what are the backgrounds? Is the coronavirus behind it?

In very general terms, the article only talks about a “spreading virus” and China, so the connection to the new coronavirus automatically arises in your head. However, pigs are not carriers of SARS-CoV-2 at all, so the question arises as to where the picture really comes from.

Foot and mouth disease in South Korea

If you search for this picture, you will come across posts saying that it comes from China or Italy. In fact, this picture was taken in South Korea. Here you can see the intervention of authorities in an attempt to contain an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease type A.

A sad event that South Korea has already experienced, as there was a significant precedent
in 2011 In Italy, foot and mouth disease has not affected pigs since 1993.

Control measures

The disease is difficult or almost impossible to treat.
The control measures are based on the killing (culling) of animals on infected and contact farms as well as restrictions on the housing of animals susceptible to the disease. If the first outbreaks occur, all animals on the farm (sick, infected, or suspected of being infected or contaminated) must be killed. This is followed by cleaning and disinfection of contaminated materials and products and the destruction of all products that come from the infected farm.

South Korea is trying to counteract another epidemic with vaccinations against foot and mouth disease.
This has occurred again on a massive scale, so rapid intervention is required. Unfortunately, it is not known whether it is possible to carry out a more humane culling of the animals.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, the picture is real, but it dates from 2011 , was taken in South Korea and has no connection with China and SARS-CoV-2.
