"We are here to let people know that getting away with swine flu problem is as simple as that putting meat away from your diet.... Putting pork away from your plate. Just to go vegetarian. Once you go vegetarian there won't be a need of pig farms as it is being clarified by various newspapers that swine flu is occurring just because of filth in the pig farms," said Nikunj Sharma, Campaign Coordinator, PETA.

The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza.[3] The origin of this new strain is unknown. However, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs.[4] This strain can be transmitted from human to human,[5] and causes the normal symptoms of influenza.[6]
