As a preventive measure to stop Swine-Flu, the Egyptian government used the out-of-mind/out-of-sight technique to stop the spread of the denigrating-named disease. 300,000 thousand pigs were slaughtered without ever showing signs of the disease. This poorly thought action stems from a surge of cases from an unrelated bird flu that has taken its 26th fatality. Yes, they may be at edge but why the rush in eliminating all piggies?
