Mass and brutal killings of pigs in Egypt condemned by animal rights groups

bastards. fcking bastards.

Egypt's decision of killing 300000 pigs is higly criticized by a leading animal rights group. Describing as "shocking and cruel" methods to slaughter the country's pigs over swine flu fears, responding to a YouTube video that showed men skewering squealing piglets with large kitchen knives and hitting others with crowbars.

The controversy was the latest swirling around Egypt's decision to kill all the country's 300,000 pigs out of concerns they will spread swine flu. But the World Health Organization has said it is entirely unnecessary because the illness is being spread through humans.

2. The cruelty that some humans can display is very disappointing.

May they not meet a fate so ugly in their demise.
