> Chinese state media reported last week that gangs were exploiting the African swine fever crisis by deliberately spreading the disease by using drones to drop infected items on to pig farms. The farmers are then forced to sell meat cheaply to the gangs, who then sell it on as healthy stock, according to China Comment magazine, which is affiliated to state news agency Xinhua.

WTF, China?


This story really has it all.

Drones, aircraft, electronics jamming, industrial farming / animal husbandry, epidemics, and organised crime slash terrorism.
