we DONT NEED TO EAT PIGS.

WHY DONT POEPLE GET IT THROUGH THIER HEADS THAT EATING ANIMAL FLESH IS BARBARIC AND DESTROYING OUR WORLD.

WHY IS SO HARD FOR HUMANS TO STOP EATING ANIMALS. IT IS BARBARIC, DISGUSTING, AND UNNESSARY.

This is about health and a pig, NOT eating meat so stick to the subject. We also have a cat that tested positive. Makes ya wonder how it is really spread. No Julie, we don't eat cats either!
