Capitalist pigs become Commie pigs - Smithfield shareholders OK sale to Chinese company

Shareholders of Smithfield Foods Inc. — parent company of Utah’s massive Circle Four Farms hog operation in Milford — approved on Tuesday a plan to sell the world’s largest pork producer and processor to a Chinese company. The Smithfield, Va.-based company said more than 96 percent of the votes cast during a special meeting in Richmond were in favor of Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd.’s $34 per share offer, or $4.72 billion in cash.

Its sale to Hong Kong-based Shuanghui comes at a time of serious food safety problems in China, some of which have involved Shuanghui, which owns food and logistics enterprises and is the largest shareholder of China’s biggest meat processor.

Personally, I don't think this will work.  Why?  Because the commies will limit the sows to one pig per litter.
