22. Plenty of it, lots of pig farms around here. And dumping is wrong
and should be dealt with with sever fines. People are going to have their pork though, and not everyone has the space to raise a pig for food. So factory farms play their role in keeping people feed. Also as far as I know the Swine Flu has not been linked in any way to factory farming. More likely it came from a rural area where people live with pigs on a daily basis. That article and people that are calling this the NAFTA Flu are just using this to push their anti NAFTA agenda. I am neither pro or anti NAFTA, but I do think it needs a lot of renegotiations to at least make it work better for all of us in North America.
