Tunisia Goes After Wild Boar

The Tunisian security service is tired. After running out of journalists, human rights activists, and their lawyers to abuse, they have turned sights on wild boar.

Just like the inept Egyptian officials, they are taking measures to protect the populace against swine flu by slaughtering wild boar even though there is no medical mandate to do so. This is quite obnoxious. This is a meaningless approach that is based on casually thinking that "while, like, it's a swine flu to after the pigs!"

Does this look appetizing?

Well, hopefully nothing bad will come out of it.

This is news to me. I never thought Tunisia had any pigs in the country. Egypt is 10% Christian [Coptic] so it did not surprise me that there are so many pigs there. But Tunisia is 99.9% Muslims and the equally anti-pig Jews are the only minority.

But, alas, Tunisia does have three pig farms that serve only visiting Europeans. Though Tunisians can buy pig at a supermarket, but I always thought it was imported [and it may be].

And now with the swine flu can we finally agree that we Muslims and Jews have been right about pigs. I just saw a video of Egyptian pigs and they swim and eat filth. They eat their own shit and the shit of others. A pig will eat whatever you put in front of him. And what the pig eats, you eat! Pigs are disgusting, I can't stand the sight of them. Ugh!!!

Given the diet of pigs, it should surprise no one that pigs carry so many diseases.
