Afghanistan's only known pig has been locked in a room, away from visitors to Kabul zoo where it normally grazes beside deer and goats, because people are worried it could infect them with the virus popularly known as swine flu.

The pig is a curiosity in Muslim Afghanistan, where pork and pig products are illegal because they are considered irreligious, and has been in quarantine since Sunday after visitors expressed alarm it could spread the new flu strain.

"For now the pig is under quarantine, we built it a room because of swine influenza," Aziz Gul Saqib, director of Kabul Zoo, told Reuters. "We've done this because people are worried about getting the flu."

Afghanis are the dumbest people on the planet.

Depending on how many generations they've not come in contact with a pig it might make a slight amount of idiotic sense.

so, the fact that the US pork industry is in serious trouble because Americans' won't buy pork cause they are afraid of the swine flu means what then?

Mujahideen fighters then ate the deer and rabbits and shot dead the zoo's sole elephant. Shells shattered the aquarium.

One fighter climbed into the lion enclosure but was immediately killed by Marjan, the zoo's most famous inhabitant. The man's brother returned the next day and lobbed a hand grenade at the lion leaving him toothless and blind.

Yeah, forcing the slaughter of 350,000 pigs is far more rational than putting a single pig in quarantine.

I thought you wrote this as fucking joke, and then I went to the link. Read Reuters, but then still kept looking for signs of it being the Onion.
