Pig abuse in China a ‘class experiment’?
A group of students from a special police prep school was seen torturing a pig in various ways.
ChinaSmack posted photos of the animal being beaten with poles and strangled by a student in a school in Nanning, China.
The special police school has come forth to say that the incident was a forensics class experiment under taken by criminal investigation and special police students.
Photos of the abuse have gone viral and netizens are stepping forth to condemn the animal abuse.
Stoneman_ok said "Can the people commenting please take a moment to understand the truth? Those are police school students in a forensic class, it isn't some 'Pig Abuse Gate'. Since forensics is a technical course, there must be experiences."
"And the photos are showing an experiment using test pigs to show the features and characteristics of a body following various kinds of death," added Stoneman_ok.
Another netizen Leo commented, "I know people dissect frogs, experiment on rabbits and lab rats. But for some reason, an animal this size just seems more wrong. That guy in the top picture looks like he's having WAYYY too much fun".
