Egypt is being over dramatic

The Egyptian government wants to kill all of the countries pigs, some 350,000; which has caused an uproar between its citizens and the government. The United Nations says that this action is not neccessary and will not prevent the swine flu from infecting its citizens. Scientists have found that you can not catch the flu from foods. If the Egyptian government proceeds to do this, this will cost their economy millions of potential profits from exporting and trading its meats. I personally doubt the Egpytian government has thought of the economic reprocussions of this action. The process will take months, and the process has started yesterday morning. I think as the weeks pass, they will stop slaughtering the pigs. Six countries have reported person to person flu contact.
