SWINE FLU

April 30th, 2009 by Annie

You may have been hearing about possible links between the current swine flu outbreak and Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO). There is some logic to that association, especially because there are some very large hog CAFOs in Mexico. It seems too early to really tell if the link exists and there’s a lot of science and testing that must take place to prove any links. Here’s a good article with the latest in the swine flu/CAFO connection.
