The Struggles of Afghanistan's Lone Pig

Ridiculousness......

In Kabul Zoo, Afghanistan's lone pig has been placed in quarantine after visitors expressed alarm it could spread Swine Flu..




As Reuters explains: “The pig is a curiosity in Muslim Afghanistan, where pork and pig products are illegal because they are considered irreligious"

So we have this lone pig, probably already a little paranoid due to the fact it is considered a 'irreligious curiosity' in its homeland, now placed into pig quarantine because of the totally irrational and unfounded fears that it will spread its special brand of irreligious swine flu all accross Afghanistan.

Can we quarantine the thinking behind all this madness instead?..Piggy please?
