The Republic of Korea belongs to the OIE (World Organization for Animal Health), whose Guidelines on the Killing of Animals for Disease Control Purposes states that the methods used "should result in immediate death or immediate loss of consciousness lasting until death" and "should not cause avoidable anxiety, pain, distress or suffering in animals."
Burying animals alive certainly seems to breach these guidelines.

No distress or suffering? Easy to say when you're a human and alive.

Poor pigs but I think this is the best thing that they should do although its against the animal rights, I know they're just doing this to prevent some illness.
