Most of the concern about swine flu has focused on preventing humans from spreading it to others. But at state fairs across the country, animal health officials have been taking steps to protect pigs from getting the new H1N1 virus from people.

SIGNED.... I HATE THAT THEY EVEN HAVE THESE STUPID FAIRS THAT INCLUDE ANIMALS, THEY USUALLY END UP ON THE DINNER PLATE. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A PIG SCREAM AFTER ITS BEN STUCK. THEY ALSO KNOW THE OTHER PIGS KNOW ITS ALMOST THERE TURN... IT WORTH A GOOD CRY AND A HORRIBLE SITE....

maybe a good case of swine flu would scare enough poeple they might actually stop raising pigs for food. it is disgusting that pigs are raised and slaugthered for food.
what a waste of an intelligent, gentle loving animal.

I have to agree with Julie, these animals are really passive and they need to be left alone... For the love of pigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
