Pigs catch swine flu from humans

A pig farm in central NSW has its pigs in quarantine, with swine flu.  It is believed that they caught it from workers at the farm. I see a delicious irony in pigs catching swine flu from humans.

Veterinarians and emergency disease response specialists are at the Dunedoo piggery tracing the movements of people, animals, and equipment on and off the property.  The pigs started coughing late last week and vets were called to the property early this week. 

Poor piggies!
