Chinese farmer keeps 100-yr-old mother in pigsty

A Chinese farmer has faced a barrage of criticism after it emerged he keeps his 100-year-old mother in a pigsty.

Chen Shoutian has come under fire from residents in the country following a local TV report which claimed his mother had spent the past two years in the animal pen with a four-legged porker - but he insists she is happy to share a room with a pig.
