"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.
Ever since swine flu infected a number of people in as many as 15 countries, hospitals in India have taken preventive measures to tackle the epidemic.
