KMT pork video misleading, DPP lawmakers sayBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterDemocratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials yesterday condemned a video of a convulsing pig posted online by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) , as the US animal rights group that produced the clip said that it was not related to ractopamine. The KMT’s Facebook page, where the video was posted on Tuesday, said that the video was of hogs fed ractopamine that were experiencing physical and emotional distress as a result. Members of the Democratic Progressive Party legislative caucus at a news conference at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei yesterday demand that the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) remove a video from its Facebook page. The footage was shot at Quality Pork Processors (QPP), a high-speed pig slaughterhouse in Minnesota, it said. COA Minister Chen Chi-chung (陳吉仲) on Thursday asked the KMT to remove the video.
