This is the first time that virus has killed pigs!
Sounds like a Porky Pig Pandemic (P3). Better send in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective...
Yet another potentially deadly wolrd-pandemic from Asia. What shall we call it? Perhaps “Swine Flu”? Nah, that’s been taken already.
Doesn’t matter. In three weeks this will be blown up into another H5N-style brouhaha, aimed at separating Western nations from their wealth in order to fund “Health Care” overseas; most of that funding will find it’s way into the pockets of kleptocrats and UN bureaucrats.
Is this worth a ping for the bird flu list?
ping, just in case...(Thanks, OwenKellogg!)
Here's another sample:
Hong Kong television broadcasts and newspapers were full of lurid accounts today of pigs staggering around with blood pouring from their bodies in Gaoyao and neighboring Yunfu, both in Guangdong Province. The Apple Daily newspaper said that as many as 80 percent of the pigs in the area had died, that panicky farmers were selling ailing animals at deep discounts and that pig carcasses were floating in a river.I hope they're not selling those ailing pigs to us.
Tastes like melamine er chicken. Nothing to see here, ignore any porcine pandemics percolating under your nose ping.
Coming from the NY Slimes I shouldn't be surprised, but Keith Bradsher needs a better editor (and education). When what you have to sell is print, it ought to checked for proper English.
Check them for melamine and get back to me...
Now we know where the contaminated wheat gluten went..........
Could be a lot of things. A little over a decade ago we had our own swine disease that played havoc in the US pork industry. That is why my father had to get out of the business.
