China culls 38,000 pigs as swine fever spreads.
More than 38,000 pigs have been culled across China, state media said Sunday, as the world's largest pork producer scrambles to contain an outbreak of African swine fever.
The disease has been discovered in five Chinese provinces, the official Xinhua news service reported, quoting statistics from the country's ministry of agriculture.
China reported its first case of the disease in August in northeast Liaoning province.
Since then the disease has moved south, with cases discovered as far as 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) away, raising concerns it could infect pig farms across the country.

The real tragedy of people who eat mock meats just to be hipsters is that they're missing things that are so much better.
For example, why screw around with fake hot dogs? That has to be the most disgusting mock meat I've ever tried. Instead, they should grill up some carrots and have carrot dogs. Not totally unlike a hot dog and so delicious, especially with salsa or even just mustard and relish.
