A Chinese farm breeding cockroaches to make into medicines has released a million of its charges into the local neigbhbourhood after being attacked as part of a development land grab.
According to the Chinese media, a Jiangsu province facility breeding cockroaches for “medicinal” purposes has been at the centre of a (by Chinese standards) minor public health scandal after its livestock escaped en masse.
The greenhouse housing the roaches was reportedly destroyed by persons unknown, letting approximately 1 million of the insects escape.
Local authorities have begun attempting to exterminate the escapees, and insists to the p “there is no reason for people to panic.”
There is some suspicion officials themselves destroyed the farm as part of a China style property development deal, but the local government assures the public that “we didn’t do it.”
Just what medicines the cockroaches were being used to produce is not known.
Online there has been some speculation about this point in particular:
“God, don’t breed them!”
“Sick!”
“I don’t even want to think what they were breeding them for…”
“I was hoping they were just using them as lab animals but no such luck.”
“What medicine were they making that it used millions of roaches as a raw ingredient?”
“They were probably eating them. You just know they were…”
“That there was some rotten land deal involved as well is just pure China.”
“At least it was better than the 1,000 alligators which escaped in a storm there recently…”
“Hopefully it was just traditional medicine!”
“I expect they were used in some dodgy supplements or something.”
“This is naive. I expect they were mincing them and selling them as meat… I couldn’t stand to go in a mainland restaurant.”
“I think they released them deliberately in order to help terraform China into habitability again.”

Who needs a farm when you can breed them in your house without even noticing.
I couldn't have said it better myself
Same thing as industrial style farming and owning 4 chickens yourself.
Liking the Gokicha pic! I've only ever seen the first two episodes subbed into English, is there any more out there?
What the fudge does this have to do with the guy you're responding to?
Wait, the cockroaches were bred for "medicinal" purposes?? This is China we're talking about, "medicinal" could mean damn near anything!
Is this how the zombie apocalypse starts?!!
Protein supplements.
and Mc deas special sauce.
No, this is how the zombie apocalypse is fed.
Zombies? Nah, sounds like a zerg invasion to me.
Roach Farmers report:
The score was 6 to nothing.
The bedbugs were ahead.
The roaches hit a homer.
And knocked me out of bed.
The day this site drops it Japanese nationalist and anti-China/Korea bullshit will be a very good day. Not everyone who enjoys watching anime and reading manga masturbates over Imperial Japan and cockheads like Shinzo Abe. Miyazaki for the win.
The day the Chinese stop doing corrupt or stupid shit is the day this site stops highlighting that crap.
So, are any of those cockroaches exploding? HaHaHa, good one.
Not everyone, but the majority. No point in complaining about the Sankakucomplex commercial policy. If I were the writer for sankaku, I would too manipulate news like they do. It's understandable.
i think they just translate random stories from japanese news sites. I don't think any "research" goes into these stories.
Translated news found by browsing 2chan? Also, Sankaku keeps posting these stuff because you guys give it ten times more attentin than posts about that funny anime or that new figure.
I don't see how "reporting on unusual events that happen to take place within a country" constitutes being anti-that-country bullshit.
We need to deploy army of HoiHoi-san's ASAP !
"China menaced by exploding bootleg Hoihois!"
They want to create banelings
While the rest of the world is trying to exterminate the little pests, China is breeding them. Can't they get ANYTHING right?
There a different types of roaches. A roach is only as clean as the environment it lives in.
What's next? "China menaced by exploding cockroaches(?)"
I actually read it as "China menaced by exploding cockroach farm!" Well, the end result isn't much different, cockroaches are pretty much immortal so one little explosion wouldn't hurt them.
Sounds like an idea for a new weapon.
It will scare lolis so hard they will faint, and then you can take them, lolicon Zura.
Sssshhhh... Prism is watching.
America developed exploding bats during WW2, but result was meh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb
They had that story on that show hosted by Denethor.
Now imagine that same project, but with roaches.
They gave up on the bat bomb because the atomic bomb was developed before the bat bomb could be deployed.
I think Clooney Batman used one in "Batman and Robin".
looks like a link to something batman related
Ben Afflek will be the new exploding bat.
What an awful choice to play the Batman!
but if a roach is immortal, when it explodes does it die or does it crawl to its next location reloading?
My cockroach, I send him out, all the girls scream and shout?!
I just heard that the roaches were mean to be used in the fabrication of
suppositories!
Reisen will develop cockroach danmaku now, yes?
SIU KEUNG!!! SIUUU KEEUUUNG!!
Maybe a medicine for eating disorder like people who don't eat recycle food or use gutter cooking oil or hair soy sauce.lol lol lol
"...Just what medicines the cockroaches were being used to produce is not known."
Well, APHRODISIAC of course...
Aphrodisiac is a term used to make people eat weird stuff.
will the roaches explode?
That cockroach in the pic is soooo adorable!!
I hope the country itself just goes out in one huge explosion. NO wait...that's bad. Then teh whole world will be polluted by their radioactive experiments. China needs to be vaporized from the planet.
Best poison ever. How to kill millions!

Cockroaches could be good medicine
Ground-up bug brains are shown to kill resistant bacteria
Roaches are immune to radioactive substance maybe China is making some one of a hell medicine that can make soldiers immune to radiation. hehehehe
Cyber warfare is so last decade. China is actually testing exploding cockroaches.
