CULLING PIGS IN FLU FIGHT, EGYPT ANGERS HERDERS AND DISMAYS U.N.
Cairo -- Egypt has begun forcibly slaughtering the country's
pig herds as a precaution against swine flu, a move that the
United Nations described as "a real mistake" and one that is
prompting anger among the country's pig farmers.
The decision, announced Wednesday, is already adding new
strains to the tense relations between Egypt's majority Muslims
and its Coptic Christians. Most of Egypt's pig farmers are
Christians, and some accuse the government of using swine flu
fears to punish them economically.
