Hard to believe that it’s more economical to ship millions of animals to China, process them, and ship the end products back than it is to simply do it all locally.
Sounds like this pig thing is a hoax. But - they do sent all of our old electronics to China to get recycled. Awful photos of little kids with no protection stripping computers, burning the plastic, crap into the stream, etc.
I guess the one thing is - the container ships are empty after dumping off all the Chinese imports, so the shippers can get a good rate on sending our garbage to China. Probably cheaper than putting the garbage in an environmentally sound landfill.
