Farmer Arrested for Polluting Han River with Dead Pig Carcasses

I saw this story posted over at Reddit Korea about a Korean man caught illegally dumping pig carcasses into the Han River:

Apparently since October of last year, he would dispose of pigs he had used for jesa(제사) by dumping them into the Han River. In total he discarded nearly 100 pigs, amounting to 13 tons of illegal dumping in a public waterway!  [Reddit Korea]

Long time ROK Heads may remember the large protests that happened when a USFK mortician poured 20 gallons of formaldehyde down a drain that was diluted first of all by running water, then was processed through the Seoul waste treatment system, and finally through the Nanjido central metropolitan treatment plant along with 1.9 million gallons of other sewage and waste that was processed through those facilities that day.

Does anyone think this farmer will face mass protests and massive media demonization for what he did to pollute the river?

Koreans happily eat the slimy green shyt out of a sea cucumber’s twisted bowels but throw away a perfectly good pig?

Doubtful.

Might be religious rules about that style taiji…
