About the Swine Flu: These were taken 4-14-09 before I knew about Swine Flu. I was driving through Mexico City last week and I was shocked at the horrible conditions the pigs went through. They are crammed in there so tight - you can even see blood on the rails. They have open wounds and some are foaming at the mouth. I could hear them screaming in pain and fighting with one another because they couldn't move an inch. This is just one truck I passed out of perhaps hundreds in the country. Is it any wonder why their pigs are sick?

This is horrible. This explains why so many people are getting swine flu.

I took these 2 weeks ago (4/14). I'm surprised these haven't made the news. Fox News talked today about how Mexico pig farms show no signs of anything unusual. I'm sure Mexican farms on their best behavior right now with the whole world focussing in.

How horrible, that is inhumane. They should be reported to Peta.
