South Korea has been heavily criticised for burying up to one million pigs alive as it grapples with a foot and mouth disease outbreak.
The South Korean government has so far refused to vaccinate pigs against the disease and is now slaughtering them in record numbers despite appeals to stop.
Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) told Sky News Online that South Korea's actions contravene international guidelines.
Joyce D’Silva, Director of Public Affairs for CIWF said: "Compassion in World Farming is appalled that the Republic of Korea is allegedly throwing pigs into pits and burying them alive.
"This is totally contrary to international guidelines on humane culling, which the Korean government endorsed five years ago. "We urge the Korean government to end this horrendous practice at once and to ensure that, if animals are culled, this is done humanely."
For fuck's sake, did no one in South Korea see "No Country For Old Men?" Awful; simply awful.
