Therefore, environmental safety standards for burial sites should be established first. According to Yonhap News,
experts said that “From now on, burial sites should be thoroughly and systematically investigated and managed at the
national level.” In other words, it is necessary to create environmental safety standards for burial sites. At the 2011
debate “The status and countermeasures of foot-and-mouth disease and AI, what is the problem,” the need for thorough
pre and post measures was discussed, including environmental stability standards. In addition to establishing a program
to monitor groundwater and soil around the burial site, measures to stabilize the burial site should be established
sequentially, such as “Environment Impact Assessment” that examines the impact of environmental hazards on human
health.Thismeansthatitisessentialabovealltoreorganizethelegalsystemandregulationssothattheycanbemanaged

Representative Lee also said, “When pigs are buried alive in the ground, pigs often tear vinyl inside the pit, causing
contaminated leachate to flow underground, causing secondary environmental pollution and damage. Legal and humane
killings are important to reduce environmental damage.” To protect the environment, not only environmental stability
