Thousands of Dead Pigs Dumped in Shanghai River

Porcine circovirus (PCV) found in Shanghai drinking water source

More than 3,000 dead pigs were dumped in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River, a source of Shanghai’s drinking water, authorities said.

Dead pigs removed from the Hengliaojing Creek in Shanghai’s district of Songjiang. The creek flows into the upper reach of the Huangpu River, a source of the city’s drinking water. 

“The number is expected to rise as there are still six barges that have not returned from collecting carcasses. We have to act quickly to remove them all for fear of causing water pollution,” the director of Shanghai Songjiang District Environmental Protection Bureau, told the Global Times.

The authorities don’t yet know what killed the pigs. Tests for common pig-borne diseases including swine fever, foot and mouth, hog cholera and epidemic diarrhea have thus far proved negative, said a report.

Kansas heat wave kills 2,000 cattle

The intense heat and humidity that has palled over central Kansas for more than a week have killed at least 2,000 cattle: Report

“It is all cattle in feedlots. It is more the humidity than the heat,” Ken Powell, environmental scientist with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said of the more than 2,000 cattle deaths.

“The cattle deaths have overwhelmed rendering plants and some feedlots are burying the carcasses in accordance with state regulations, said Powell.”

“From the standpoint of dealing with the disposal of animals, this is the worst I have seen in the almost 17 years I’ve been here,” he said.

Monday temperatures rose to 101 Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) at Garden City in southwest Kansas, the report said.

“For three or four more days, it’s still pretty stressful,” a meteorologist at Telvent DTN said. “There is a chance you may see a few showers this weekend, which would help ease stress on the livestock.

With about 2 million cattle fattening in its feedlots, Kansas is the third largest cattle state in the U.S. More …

Up to 40 Japanese Schoolgirls Hit by NZ Swine flu

As up to 40 more than 50 Japanese Schoolgirls Quarantined for Suspected Swine Flu in New Zealand …

Blogger TEAA asks:

Why Are Japanese Schools Allowed to Endanger the Health  of Their Pupils, Nation

Earlier today, NZ media reported that more than 40 visiting Japanese schoolgirls from a party of 200 had shown symptoms of swine flu, with five of them diagnosed with the disease.

Previously the Moderators asserted that:

• The A (H1N1) virus [commonly known as ‘swine flu’] originated in New Zealand.

• They also postulated that the ESR labs in New Zealand had produced the virus, and possibly a number of its stronger mutations, on behalf of a client, namely the international pharmaceutical cartel.

In June 2009, it was revealed that a US scientist had been forced to say that he had been “misquoted”  saying the swine flu virus originated in “either New Zealand or China.”

Professor Gus Kousoulas, the director of Louisiana State University’s division of biotechnology and molecular medicine, had been quoted as saying: “We think it [swine flu] began in New Zealand or China,” adding that his conclusion “was based on early phylogenetic analysis of available sequences.”

In April 2009, MSRB Moderators posited that Swine Flu was A Deadly $100 billion Scam. They wrote: “Is this the “perfect” viral mutation engineered to kill only a small number of  ‘brown’ people? [So as to warrant WHO raising its alert level to phase 5, possibly beyond, justifying governments to spend billions of dollars on flu drugs!]

Swine flu kills dozens in Mexico

Swine flu kills 60 people and sickens 1,000  others in Mexico

60 people have died and hundreds more have been infected by a viral outbreak in Mexico believed to be a new strain of swine flu.

The cases are centered around Mexico City since mid-March, World Health Organization (WHO) said, prompting the authorities to close schools and launching a vaccination campaign in affected areas.

57  people died in Mexico City and another three in San Luis Potosi in central Mexico, with nearly a 1,000 suspected cases reported.

The infections follow seven non-fatal cases of a new form of swine flu confirmed in California and Texas, where tests are being carried out to establish if the two strains are linked.

Mexico’s Health Minister said the virus seems to have  “mutated from pigs and then at some point was transmitted to humans.”

“This is the first time that we’ve seen an avian strain, two swine strains and a human strain,” a spokesperson for the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told the media.

The seven victims in the United States had NOT been in contact with pigs, which is how the swine flu virus would normally have been transmitted.
