Thousands of dead pigs in a Shanghai river have cast a spotlight on China's poorly regulated farm production, with the country's favourite meat joining a long list of food scares. As of Friday, the number of carcasses recovered in recent days from the Huangpu river - which cuts through the commercial hub and supplies over 20 percent of its drinking water - had reached more than 7,500. Reported by Terra Daily 28 minutes ago.
