| Residents of a village hit by food-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, have seen their faucets start to deliver water mixed with blood since the beginning of the New Year. |
looks like instead of killing the animals like they're supposed to, they're just burying them alive?

| I doubt if they are burying them alive, it's probably drain water recycling back through the city water system after the cow blood entered the sewer. You don't drink tap water in Korea and many other countries, because it's just recycled drain water. |

That's a pretty gross oversimplification. In the States it's recycled drain water in a lot of places, too. It's just been cleaned up.
Korean tap water is not pumped directly from Korean drains, either.
Also, they ARE burying them alive - did you read the article? |

| Why in the world would they bury them alive? Are bullets that expensive? |

I would imagine they would have be culled a certain way.. it mentioned in the article the hesitance to use a vaccine due to concerns over exports. I didn't know Korea exported its beef. The way it's spreading anyways no country will accept its beef for a while anyway. |

Yeah, I raised my eyebrows at that one as well. It strikes me as the kind of thing where Korea would like to hypothetically keep the option of exporting its beef open so they don't want to use the vaccine. I have a feeling it might be more that Korean consumer confidence in Korean beef might plummet if they started inoculating their cattle, which might make consumers stop paying the ridiculous prices they do just to eat Korean beef of the same or lesser quality than imported beef. |

Read the actual article. It clearly says that some are being buried alive. |

The report said some underground water in Incheon, and Gyeonggi and South Chungcheong provinces had been designated �undrinkable� due to contamination levels higher than the legal minimum.

No more drinking tap water, eh? |

| It just doesn't make sense that blood would be in tap water from burying them alive. It does make sense if you bled em' down the drain though. Bullets aren't required, they have blanks which shoot a rod into their heads. |

From what I understood (and I think I read this in the Korea Times so the English translation wasn't the best), they had been killing them the old fashioned way BEFORE burying them, hence the blood.
The idea of burying them alive was supposed to stop the blood from seeping out into the earth. |

That's it for me. I'm glad I'm out of here for good next month. |

Yep. I see pictures of live pigs being thrown in a big hole. It's sick and stupid, but I still don't see how this puts blood in the tap water. I also noticed many butchers in small grocery stores are closed right now for a complete break down sanitizing using bleach. Ours have been closed for going on 2 weeks now, but Lotte mart is still selling. I expect meat to become really expensive around here not to say it wasn't already a bit pricey before this big cull currently in process. My co-teacher told me Seosan in Chungnam province is the only area not effected by foot and mouth so now some butchers around the country are advertising it's from Seosan to command a higher price. |

Wouldn't surprise me but how does one know that it's from Seosan? I' remembering reading an article saying that a middleman was selling "hanwoo" beef to the major hotels when all he was doing was putting hanwoo stickers on imported beef so the hotels would pay the markup and he walks away with more money in his pocket. |
