Pigs

We previously mentioned that thousands of dead pigs were clogging up a Chinese river.

Then black swans were dying off at a popular pond.

Now, the latest animals to die are 410 pigs and 122 dogs in Henan province in China.

That's just awful!

Local authorities say that chemical factories in the area have had their production suspended.

The deaths are suspected to be related to the factories according to the chief of the city's propaganda office.

If that many animals are dying from chemicals then it's only a matter of time until people start suffering!

So sad that animals are dying but it'd be even worse if an entire town suddenly started getting sick.

This is sickening. If we don't stop disrespecting the planet and find alternative ways, besides poison, to create and run things we aren't going to have nothing left. We already have polluted air and water, we are so close to poisoning the earth too. What has to happen in order for people to wake up and realize that we can't continue to pump this stuff into the Earth and live healthy lives.

U.S. Olympian Gus Kenworthy Is Reunited With His Sochi Dogs On Today Show! Find Out Why This Story Just Got Even More Bittersweet HERE

Remember when Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy rescued four Sochi puppies and their momma?

We were so excited that several strays stuck in Russia were going to get out and find good homes in the good ol' U.S. of A.!

Sadly, in the most heartbreaking news we've ever heard, two of the puppies have died. Noooo! Say it isn't so!

Gus' friend Robin Macdonald had stayed behind in Sochi to make sure the pups would get home safe, but has explained that the deceased pups died after Russian authorities "refused to let [Macdonald] bring [them] to get treatment."

The two were on the Today show this morning with Matt Lauer and Gus was finally reunited with the remaining pups, including their precious momma.

Gus is gonna keep two of the pups, another one will go to his brother and his fiancé and the momma dog will be adopted by Gus's mom.

Watch the bittersweet reunion and their explanation of why the process took so long to bring them home (above).

And, say goodbye to one of the pups, in which Robin posted a pic and sweet message (below).
