14 January 2008: Squealing Neighbours

Worries in China about soaring pork prices have reached new heights in one town, where a man is raising three squealing pigs in his flat.

The man has been keeping the animals on the balcony of his second-floor home since June, and plans to sell the pigs in early February.

Other residents were not happy about their new neighbours.

"Day and night the pigs constantly squeal, and sometimes the steam from the pig manure floats through the window," one said.

SaintFM wonders who's making the most noise - the pigs or the neighbours.
