Sol: It is found in history that so much blood has been shed in the war that the earth has turned red or the river has turned red, but a river flowing between the border of North Korea and South Korea is really red with blood these days. African Swine Fever is spreading rapidly in South Korea. In such a situation, the pigs are being killed by running a campaign on behalf of the government. South Korea has killed about 3.80 lakh pigs since the first case surfaced. There is no harm to humans due to swine fever but it can be fatal for pigs. There is no cure for this at the moment. Its first case in Sol was revealed in September.
With no other treatment, the government has no other way but to kill the animals to prevent the spread of swine fever. A local NGO says that last week there was heavy rain and the place where the pigs were being killed bleed and reached near the Korean border and the Imjin River turned red. 47,000 pigs have been killed at this place.
The head of the NGO, Lee Suk-woo, said that people are troubled by the red color of the river in this way, and the smell has spread far and wide. The condition is that the farmers are not able to work in the nearby fields. Officials say the disease will not spread to other animals from river water because all the pigs were infected without being killed because of which this infection will not spread to other animals.
