Denmark’s conservative parties have backed a motion to erect a 70-kilometer-long fence along the country’s border with Germany in a measure to protect pork exports.
The government and parliamentary ally the Danish People’s Party agreed on Thursday on a number of proposals aimed at preventing the African swine fever virus from spreading amongst the country’s large pig population.
Those measures include a fence to run along a large stretch of the border with Germany.
“I do not want to take any risk. We have an export industry worth 11 billion kroner (€1.5 billion) annually, which could be put at risk,” Minister for Food and the Environment Esben Lunde Larsen said via a press statement. …

Build the wall and import the pork anyway.
Then you've got twice the barricade against Islam.

Not too long ago I could always find little canned hams from Denmark for 99 cents. These were usually in Dollar stores etc.
They tasted a little different and better than premium brand larger canned hams.
The other day, I looked in the canned meats dept. at a Walmart Super Center. They had them but they are now $2.99.

A fence along the border w Germany— coincidentally it will also keep out all those “migrants” that Merkel let into Germany. Good plan. Keep out those nasty viruses

Corrected: ....border with Germany in a measure to protect itself from Muslim refugees.

Can they use actual swine for the fence. If they need to build a 30 foot tall wall of gnawed spare ribs I will be willing to help out.

Not long ago, a sandwich around here cost $5. Now they can easily hit $15. 3X in how many years? At least gasoline is still a bargain.

Oh is that what the are calling “illegal aliens” now?

Maybe Pres. Trump should rename his border wall project as necessary to keep pigs out of the USA.

err.. what are you talking about? Denmark is the largest exporter of Pork in the world and amongst the largest dairy exporters in the world.
Food in Denmark revolves around pork -- they dont' need to import MORE pork.
