Chinese Villagers Storm Super-Polluting Lead Company


Angry Chinese parents stormed the Dongling Lead and Zinc Smelting Company after a judge ruled their practices dangerous to the surrounding area.

This company recently opened a lead smelting plant only 500 yards from a primary school. 1,300 children have been victims of lead poisoning, but nobody knows the true extend of the damage.
