On Monday May 4th, Canadian authorities confirmed that a form of the current Swine Flu was spread from a human to a pig. The Ontario authorities quickly quarantined the 200 exposed pigs. The government officials estimate that a worker who returned from a recent trip to Mexico is responsible for transmitting the current Swine Flu strain. The irony of this report is now we see a link in the transmission of this strain of virus. Pork Producers and the Governments that are funded by them, had attempted to mislead the world in believing that these viruses were not spread directly from pig to human, or vise verse.

The reality is that we are witnessing how we as a global society disregard the quality of life, for the quality of profit margins. The mass production of cattle, be it pork, chicken, or beef, leads to inevitable consequences. This current strain of Swine Flu is only a small example of mans misunderstood attempt to profit off the mass production and slaughter of animals. Perhaps we as citizens of this world, might persuade those who are too blinded by the pursuit of their own economic success. By choosing to eat healthier, by choosing to know what we purchase from our grocers. Most importantly, we must hold all business and government interests accountable for the cause and affect of their actions.
