A pigs is pictured at an ecological pig farm in Germering
A pigs is pictured at an ecological pig farm in Germering west of Munich, southern Germany, January 12, 2011. German authorities said on Tuesday the highly toxic chemical dioxin had been discovered in pork in addition to poultry products, which would expand the range of a current health alert. German and European Union authorities are dealing with an alert that began on January 3, when German officials said dioxin-tainted feed had been fed to hens and pigs, contaminating eggs and poultry meat at the affected farms.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of an ecological pig farm in Germering, Germany. The image showcases a contented pig against the backdrop of lush greenery, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence between animals and nature. However, behind this idyllic scene lies a troubling revelation. German authorities have recently discovered traces of the highly toxic chemical dioxin not only in poultry products but also in pork. This disheartening news has expanded the scope of a health alert that has been ongoing since January 3rd when it was revealed that dioxin-contaminated feed had been given to hens and pigs, resulting in tainted eggs and meat. As German and European Union officials grapple with this alarming situation, photographer Michaela Rehle's lens offers us a glimpse into both sides of this story - the innocence and vulnerability of these animals on one hand, juxtaposed with the potential dangers they unknowingly face due to human negligence on the other. Through her artistry, Rehle reminds us of our responsibility towards animal welfare and food safety. This thought-provoking image serves as a poignant reminder that we must strive for sustainable farming practices to protect both our environment and our own well-being.
