Residing near a pig burial site: Estonian authorities inexplicably bury tens of thousands of pigs close to villagers' dwellings

The Estonian authorities have announced plans to establish a burial site for 30,000 pigs in the Pykhya-Sakala parish, following an outbreak of the African plague. The burial site, located 500 meters from villagers' houses, has sparked concerns among the local community, particularly regarding the safety of their groundwater supply.

Despite the villagers' concerns, preparations for the creation of the burial site are already underway. The State Veterinary and Food Board is overseeing the project, but the villagers' apprehensions about the potential impact on groundwater safety have not been addressed in the preparations.

One resident has stated that the authorities have promised to discuss the possible consequences of the burial site within 15 days. However, the lack of information about the measures the authorities will take to ensure groundwater safety near the burial site has added to the villagers' worries.

The villagers are concerned that the proximity of the burial site to their homes and wells could potentially contaminate their water supply. This concern has been raised to the local media, and the villagers have expressed their disapproval towards the burial site's location.

The total weight of the dead pigs is expected to reach up to 5,000 tons. The burial site will contain the remains of up to 30,000 animals. The villagers are seeking assurances from the authorities regarding the safety of their groundwater supply in relation to the burial site for the dead pigs.

The burial site for the dead pigs is a source of concern for the local villagers due to its proximity to their homes. The villagers are worried about the safety of groundwater, as wells are only 700 meters from the burial site. The burial of tens of thousands of pigs is causing concern among the local community, and the villagers are seeking answers and reassurances from the authorities.
