This move seems not only to be extreme, but using a global flu outbreak to do something that the country has been attempting for years. As eating pork is a sin to Muslims and as such the increasingly Muslim country of Egypt has repeatedly attempted to rid itself of pig farming. Now they have taken an opportune moment to do so even after multiple health officials, including the UN and the WHO, have said pork and the pigs themselves are not linked to the disease spreading. Hopefully the farmers can hold off this attack until the public outcry forces a change in the policy to kill almost half a million pigs.
