Nearly 10,000 pigs were housed in a 13-storey facility in southern China with restricted access, security cameras, on-site veterinarian services, and special diets. The goal of such 'hog hotels' is to keep pigs, China's main source of meat, disease-free. These measures are being taken because of the swine disease, 2000 pigs were slaughtered, causing a 50 percent increase in the price of pork across the markets.
