Pig Ebola, Salmonella, and Hog Cholera
What a title huh? Those are newsworthy terms here in the Philippines lately. Maybe it doesn’t seem so newsworthy or such a big deal to people who live here always but I am sure if there were a possible case of Pig Ebola on a farm in the hills of North Georgia where I grew up, the news would be rampant. Pig Ebola was investigated in December and carried through to this month. Last week the news was about a verified case, and then another story was about verified salmonella cases on a pig farm also. Todays headline was possible hog cholera. I am seeing a trend here and it points me in one direction: HOLD THE PORK!
