From the NY Times: Egypt has begun forcibly slaughtering the country’s pig herds as a precaution against swineflu, a move that the United Nations described as “a real mistake” and one that is prompting anger among the country’s pig farmers.

According to theASPCA dogs have little chance of contracting swineflu. Pet pigs may contract swineflu. Ferrets and birds may develop swineflu, or other human flu viruses. Avoid exposing your pet to people and animals with flu symptoms. Dogs are safe. Cats should be monitored.
