Swine Flu is in the news and is a potential global pandemic emergency. I saw on CNN that the source of the problem is a pig farm in the heart of Mexico owned by Smithfield Farms. I thought this was interesting. Smithfield Farms is the apple pie kingdom of former Senator Gordon Smith of Oregon who would rather pay fines than clean up and stop polluting. Senator Gordon Smith, a Mormon or member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is among many who disregard the need to protect our environment.
CNN reported that Smithfield Farms said that their farm isn't causing the problem. Is this true or not? If Smithfield Farms are doing the checking, how can you trust it? There needs to be an independent agency that goes in to determine if Smithfield Farms is causing the problem. I doubt CNN would risk saying that the heart of the problem is the pig farm owned by Smithfield Farms, unless it was true.
