Egypt has recently ordered the killing of every pig in the country. Because many Egyptians are Jewish, or other religions, and do not eat pig, the country itself only has 250,000 pigs. And even though the Swine Flu is thought to have not been started by swine anyways, it is unclear whether they will continue with their plans. It has recently been renamed 2009 H1N1 because of the misconceptions.
I think it is horrible that Egypt may slaughter their pigs anyways. Even if the swine flu had come from pig, they should at least check their herds to see if they were infected. If not, they would be murdering 250,000 pigs for no reason. I am actually surprised that I haven't heard more about PETA protesting this. The flu is spread from human to human, anyways. And, it has part avian flu in it. Should we kill all the birds too?
