Afghanistan's only pig quarantined in flu fear

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's only known pig has been locked in a room, away from visitors to Kabul zoo where it normally grazes beside deer and goats, because people are worried it could infect them with the virus popularly known as swine flu.

The pig is a curiosity in Muslim Afghanistan, where pork and pig products are illegal because they are considered irreligious, and has been in quarantine since Sunday after visitors expressed alarm it could spread the new flu strain.

"For now the pig is under quarantine, we built it a room because of swine influenza," Aziz Gul Saqib, director of Kabul Zoo, told Reuters. "We've done this because people are worried about getting the flu."

Worldwide, more than 1,000 people have been infected with the virus, according to the World Health Organization, which also says 26 people have so far died from the strain. All but one of the deaths were in Mexico, the epicenter of the outbreak.

There are no pig farms in Afghanistan and no direct civilian flights between Kabul and Mexico.

"We understand that, but most people don't have enough knowledge. When they see the pig in the cage they get worried and think that they could get ill," Saqib said.

The pig was a gift to the zoo from China, which itself quarantined some 70 Mexicans, 26 Canadians and four Americans in the past week, but later released them.

Some visitors were not concerned about the fate of the pig and said locking it away was probably for the best.

"Influenza is quite contagious and if it passes between people and animals then there's no need for the pig to be here," zoo visitor Farzana said.

Shabby and rundown, Kabul Zoo is a far cry from zoos in the developed world, but has nevertheless come a long way since it suffered on the front line of Afghanistan's 1992-4 civil war.

Mujahideen fighters then ate the deer and rabbits and shot dead the zoo's sole elephant. Shells shattered the aquarium.

One fighter climbed into the lion enclosure but was immediately killed by Marjan, the zoo's most famous inhabitant. The man's brother returned the next day and lobbed a hand grenade at the lion leaving him toothless and blind.

The zoo now holds two lions who replaced Marjan who died of old age in 2002 as well as endangered local leopards. In all, it houses 42 species of birds and mammals and 36 types of fish and attracts up to 10,000 visitors on weekends.

Green Scale

今天收到公司的信, 这个决心大吧.

I am pleased to announce starting Monday April 6th we are ready to roll out our new Green Initiatives for the remainder of 2009. The success and positive feedback on the water bottle program caused us to seriously look at a series of things and we appreciate our employees’ dedication to making #### a greener place to work.

1. Starting Monday April 6th, we will no longer run HVAC to the floors after 5 pm. This will significantly reduce our power consumption.

2. During the sunniest days we will turn off all light to the floors from 10am – 4pm. We have an abundance of natural light that will make it easy for anyone to work comfortably.

3. We will be eliminating all snacks and beverages that are not produced from a carbon neutral or sustainably harvested company. Many of the brand name snacks and beverages you consume daily will have to be replaced, but we will be replacing them with much healthier options. You can now look forward to fresh local produce, Soy Bars, Granola and Fresh Milk from Hudson Farms.

4. We will be expanding the concierge program so now anyone can now call to find out if a local restaurant or business that is carbon neutral; our receptionists have a list and we encourage you to only pursue only carbon neutral establishments.

5. We will be suspending our dry cleaning service until we find a carbon neutral vendor. (I am still looking and are open to suggestions if anyone knows of one)

6. Starting in May, parking will only be provided for those that can demonstrate they are carpooling or have a hybrid vehicle. We will be adding additional bike racks in the garage in hopes that everyone will pedal into work rather than pollute.

This is just the tip of the Green Scale. I hope that you are all open to traveling down this road with us and as always your suggestions, comments and concerns are welcomed with open arms. Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime and I will be happy to address them head on.

可是, 是不是那些味道好的, 我喜欢吃的都会失踪了呢..哭...
