Screams of Terror: 3 Million Pigs Buried Alive in South Korea (VIDEO)

WARNING: What you are about to see is shocking and disgusting.

Three million pigs are now quiet within the earth, having been buried alive and suffocated to death. Their screams of terror and agony will haunt you for days to come.

Due to hoof-and-mouth disease, South Korea kills about 20 percent of its entire livestock population…more than three million…most of them pigs, by burying them alive.  These animals could have easily been vaccinated.

Pigs are still being buried alive in South Korea, despite reassurance from the Government that such live burials would be stopped. Since November 29, 2010, over 8 million animals have been killed, more than 90% of them buried alive, in one of the worst outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease and bird flu. Over 5,000 Change.org members signed the original petition. As a result of massive protests from private citizens, local and international organizations, the Government pledged that all animals would be ‘humanely’ killed in line with international guidelines. Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA) have reported that 900 pigs were recently buried alive on February 21, in Icheon, Kyungi Province. According to KARA, this is proof that the government’s default strategy is still to bury animals alive.

The Seoul-based group Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE) recently released a highly graphic video of an actual live burial. Pigs can be seen being dumped into a deep pit; as the mass grave fills up, those at the bottom are crushed. Soil is then shoveled on top of the screaming pigs who are subsequently suffocated to death. Quite frequently, air pockets allow some of the animals to survive for several hours, even days, before succumbing to death – according to witnesses on site, their screams can be heard long after the burial.
