You Will Stop Eating Pork After This: African Swine Virus Has 100% Kill Rate.. Sweeping Through Pork China Industry!

"Chinese pork production is facing a threat of a highly contagious flu virus that has already spread to a dozen provinces in the past three months.


The deadly African swine fever has reportedly spread to the 12 provinces which cater to over half the pig population in China, according to The Guardian. The virus, which currently has no vaccine, is reported to be passed through contaminated feed or exposure to infected animals.

China reported its first African swine fever outbreak in Liaoning province in August, which is also the first reported case of the disease in East Asia.


On Wednesday, the ministry of agriculture announced that about 70,000 pigs have so far been culled to mitigate the spread of the virus which has an almost 100% fatality rate. Many pig-producing provinces in the country are now on lockdown.


According to the ministry, that it would also ban the feeding of kitchen waste to pigs as the practice has been linked to the majority of the initial cases.
