A spokesperson said: ‘The Labour Department is saddened by the death of the person and expresses its deepest sympathy to his family.
A World Animals Voice (WAV) spokesperson said:
Well some people will still eat meat and things like this happen sometimes. We really only have concerns for the pig and hope very much that the Karma pig escaped slaughter and will end up being taken in for a happy life free from abuse by the activist organisations.
A Chinese butcher was killed by his own pig in what appears to be a tragic case of karma.
While detectives are yet to determine the cause of death, it seems the pig caused the butcher to stab himself with the knife.
It is unclear whether the pig managed to escape its fate.

At the end of January I will be publishing a post on an issue which I hate more than just about anything else – live animal transport – specifically the death of Jill.
For me, February 1st is always a bad day; as it was the day we (anti export campaigners in England UK) lost our beloved jill who was murdered by the live export industry.
More to come and plenty of information at the end of the month to remember Jills death of 1st February 1995.
At rodeos, calves are yanked violently with ropes and pinned down; bulls and horses are jolted with electric prods, spurred, and viciously kicked; and straps are tightened around the animals’ abdomens to provoke them to bolt and buck – all in the name of putting on a show.
A New South Wales council is considering a licence for rodeos at the local showground, which means now is the perfect time to tell it that rodeos are a relic of a cruel, bygone era.

We wish New Zealand Premier Jacinda Ardern the very best for the future; and say ‘Thank you’ to her and her government for being the first nation which introduces official legislation to stop the export of live animals. Thank you Jacinda.
The Animal Welfare Amendment Bill to ban live export has passed its third and final reading in Parliament in Aotearoa (New Zealand)!
The live export of cattle, deer, goats and sheep from New Zealand by sea will stop on 30 April 2023.
Now all eyes are on Australia to follow suit.
News reports suggest the New Zealand government delivered a letter to the Chinese Embassy on 31 March signalling the end of the trade.
New Zealand announced a ban on live exports, which will see the trade being phased out over a two-year period, stopping 30/4/23.
SAFE, an animal rights organisation in New Zealand that has long campaigned for a ban on live exports, praised the Government’s decision to ban all live exports by sea for cattle, sheep, deer and goats for slaughter, fattening and breeding.
This decision followed a government consultation to which we submitted a briefing, highlighting the suffering inherent in the practice and explaining viable alternatives, including reducing journey times and exporting semen instead of live animals.
New Zealand’s announcement drives home the point that the welfare of farmed animals can and should be a top priority. Now it time for the UK to follow suit and implement a ban on this awful practice. Whilst making its way through Parliament at the moment, the British people are hearing endless government excuses as to why things are taking time; not enough time for further debate etc, etc. Great to see that New Zealand stepped up to the plate and passed all the legislation without all the excuses and delays as seen in UK government.
Hopefully this year, 2023; we will see all legislation passed in the UK which will also ban the export of live animals. This will then put huge pressure on the EU and also Australia to stop the sordid trade involving mass suffering to millions of sentient live farm animals.
