A Canadian official says it has nothing to do with the H1N1 virus, but 500 hogs on the farm where the virus was detected have been culled. The hogs were not sick. Alberta’s chief veterinarian, Dr. Gerald Hauer, told the Canadian Press – the decision to cull was to ease overcrowding on the central Alberta farm. Hauer said it had nothing to do with – animal welfare. The remaining herd of 17-hundred pigs remains under quarantine.
Under the quarantine, Dr. Hauer explained, the population continues to grow and space was running out. The veterinarian added, - these animals cannot be moved off the farm as they normally would. The living conditions would soon become unacceptable due to overcrowding and the pigs would have been in distress.
