On a Lighter Note...Save the Pigs!!

Seems that the government of Egypt wants to slaughter all of the country's porcine citizens in an effort to stop the spread of the Swine Flu.

Now I'm no disease control expert, but from what I'm reading about the transmission of this disease, it seems to me a more appropriate response should be to slaughter all of the humans, right?

I'm just sayin'....

  1. It's only funny until some idiot hears 'mixture of swine and avian flu' and decides all our pigs and chickens need to go too.

  2. It's really not funny at all, Stef. It's totally absurd. Typical human response to any problem though...tragic really.

  3. Excellent post! I'm always amazed by the way that the 'people' (in majority form) respond to things like this, or any media-form of information.

    I love the line: "from what I'm reading about the transmission of this disease, it seems to me a more appropriate response should be to slaughter all of the humans" --- I laughed for some time, but you're completely right.
