No Worries!
The municipal authorities said the retrieved pigs would be collected and handled in a harmless way.
According to the labels pinned in the ears of the pigs which are used to trace their information, the dead pigs are found to come from the upstream waters of the Huangpu River.
The local authorities are conducting coordinated efforts to stop the dumping of dead pigs from the source.
Local media reports said the pigs mainly came from Shanghai's neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The water quality of Shanghai has not been affected by the floating dead pigs, according to the city's water supply bureau.
But fear not: just like Fukushima (which has its 2 year anniversary today) was reported by the government for days and days to be just a minor blip and only conspiracy theorists were allowed to associate dangerous radioactivity with a nuclear power plant explosion, so pigs in a river are, according to China, perfectly normal:
"The data of water quality are all within the normal range," said the bureau.
