Swine Flu has nothing to do with swine?

Tweet

I heard a farmer talking on the news today and apparently he has been told that research shows that Swine Flu has nothing to do with swine and the media needs to stop reporting it that way and this has done a great disservice to the industry. Swine sales have went from 70$/lb (per 100) and now down to 30$/lb (per 100) and young farmers looking to continue to family name cannot make a living with these prices. Another problem is the threatening rate at which factory farms are growing which is squeezing the life out of ordinary farmers and I know because every time I visit my hometown another housing development is built over the farms I knew as a kid. Could factory farms the culprit for this swine flu? I heard at the beginning of this epidemic that swine flu could contain virus of human and bird flu--so are these farms just injecting these poor animals with too many vaccines?? If anyone knows anything about factory farms one knows that they are far from a clean sight. Here's a thought--if we want to address the climate changes lets take a look at the impact of factory farms right under our noses. ---------------------------------------- "Factory Farming website" http://www.cwac.net/factory_farms/
