Foot and mouth disease in Manila

March 23, 2004 | Miscellaneous | Print This Post Print This Post

Still struggling hard not to get hit by the dreaded bird blu, dizzy over the spiraling prices of pork, and now this.

SOME 50 hogs infected with foot and mouth disease (FMD) that were on their way to the butcher were confiscated in Manila’s Tondo district…

According to The Philippine Daily Inquirer, “The pigs had wounds on their snouts and feet, footage of Monday evening’s operations showed. They were shipped from General Santos City on Friday and contracted the disease only when they reached Manila…”

The prices of seafood keep rising too.
