Canadian Farmers Cull 130,000 Pigs After Pork Plant Strike Closes Processor
Bloomberg estimates more than 130,000 pigs have been culled by local farmers.
Each pig can provide around 600 meals, and the waste is considered astronomical.
With backlogs mounting due to limited processing capacity, farmers are forced to euthanize pigs to prevent overcrowding.
Canada is the world's third-largest pork exporter - there has yet to be any information on supply chain disruptions due to the downed plant.
