Two men condemned in Chinese milk scandal


A court in China condemned two men to death on Thursday. They also gave a life sentence to a dairy company owner. They received these brutal sentences as punishment for tainting milk, which has left 6 babies dead and another 300,000 ill. Investigations showed that these men watered down raw milk, then mixed it in with a banned substance called chemical melamine. This made the milk appear like it had more protein than normal milk. The community voiced there outrage. Zheng Shuzhen had lost her grandchild to the scandal had this to say "My granddaughter died. She (Tian) should die too, she should be shot,". She is referring to Tian Wenhua who used to run the company that tainted milk. Thankfully she received a life sentence.

In my opinion the sentences that were handed out to these to these individuals were were perfect. Someone who dedicates there life to making toxic food and drinks should be killed or at least receive a life sentence. This will hopefully put an end to the food recalls in China and hopefully no more people will be exposed to toxic food.
