Shenyang Evening News, September 9, 2010
The bonfire shown on the cover of today’s Shenyang Evening News was lit to incinerate 7,500 kilos of bad pork.
A hundred pigs that died of illness were discovered in a corn field in Tubaozi, a village in the city’s Tiexi District. Animal health officials and the police are investigating the case, which is the biggest die-off of pigs Shenyang has ever seen.
Page A3, which carries the story, is absent from the paper’s electronic edition, but the website does provide a gorier, uncropped version of the front-page photo.
The top headline concerns new regulations on transparency in housing sales: developers must publicize the price, location, and layout of houses they are promoting at the sales office.
