An investigation is underway into how 20 tons of rotting pig trotters came to wash up on a beach in China’s southern province of Guangdong, which neighbors Hong Kong, on Saturday morning.

Officials in Guangdong’s Humen area cleaned up the beach and are looking into where the pig parts came from, said the local government on its official Weibo account. Photos posted by the government showed the trotters strewn along the length of the beach on Weiyuan Island.
