Photographs of two farmers bidding an emotional farewell to 6,000 pigs who they feared would drown in severe flooding in China may have helped secure their rescue.
Pictures of the tearful goodbyes spread across social media, with many netizens calling for the animals to be saved.
The animals have been partially submerged in the water since Monday, when the farm flooded after heavy rain in Shucheng county in Anhui province. Initial reports said these pigs could not be moved due to environmental protection and epidemic prevention measures. Now local media is reporting that a team has visited the farm and that the pigs have been rescued.
