The CDC site in which you linked also states that: "NOTE: This page contains background information about influenza in pigs. This page does NOT contain information about 2009 H1N1 influenza" and I did not add the emphasis, the CDC did. Furthermore, if you would like to know how widespread the so-called "swine flu" is the CDC also reports that "from December of 2005 through February 2009, 12 cases of human infection with swine influenza have been reported." It should also be noted that according to the CDC the H1N1 swine flu virus (the one that affects pigs) is NOT the SAME as the the H1N1 virus that affects humans. I hate to see intelligent, caring people so radically misinformed and would love to shed more light on the truth about modern pork production. My family and I raise approx. 26,000 hogs annually in climate controlled barns, which qualify as CAFOs. We are family owned and operated, as are all the CAFOs around us. Just because pigs aren't raised in dirt pens anymore does not mean that they suffer from inhumane conditions or are inadequately fed. Please do not believe everything radical animal rights groups say about us. As farmers and pork producers we strive to give our animals the best care that we can to provide consumers and our own families with quality pork. I implore you to learn more about modern pork production at TheBaconBlogger.blogspot.com and www.youtube.com/user/aaron7816?feature=mhum.
