In an example of colossal stupidity, Iraqi officials have called for the killing of the three wild boars in the Baghdad zoo to protect the country against swine flu. This comes on the heals of the Egyptian government moving to kill every pig in the country despite the lack of any evidence that it would help prevent the virus, which passes from human to human.
The Iraqis seem to blame the eating of pork, an emerging view among some Muslim clerics. Regional health minister Abdul Rahman Osman said “It is also possible the disease could be spread by eating pork, so we banned hunting wild boars.”
In the meantime, the Egyptian plan to kill every pigs in the country adopts an almost biblical approach to health care. Various groups have ridiculed the measure as unconnected to any scientific basis.

I drop a comment when I like a post on a blog or I have something to valuable to contribute
to the discussion. It’s a result of the sincerness displayed in the post
I looked at. And on this post Iraqi Officials to Kill Zoo Animals to Protect
Against Swine Flu | JONATHAN TURLEY. I was actually
moved enough to post a thought 🙂 I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s
allright. Is it only me or does it look as if like some of the
responses come across like left by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing at additional sites,
I’d like to follow you. Could you list the complete urls of your public sites like
your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
