mystery deaths?

A MYSTERIOUS epidemic is killing pigs in south-eastern China, but international and Hong Kong authorities say Chinese officials are providing little information about it or a contaminated wheat gluten that has caused death and illness in animals.

The lack of even basic details is reviving longstanding questions about whether China is willing to share information about health and food safety issues with potentially global implications.

2. It's even sadder to watch the inactivity of our "leaders" as they
turn a blind eye to all of this.

Then again, why would we want to look more closely at this - it might cause a downturn in profits?
