Britain's Defra vets have refused to test Britain's pigs and the Food Standards Agency, the pork, for MRSA.

It has long been suspected that pigs and pork are a major source of MRSA in Britain.

Many countries test pig and pork workers for MRSA at the hospital door. Not Britain, our government vets will not admit a problem.

Check out www.mercyforanimals.com if you still are not convinced that it is wrong to eat animals.

We use rats and mice in labs because they are like us, their brains are like ours, they develop similarly, and they have the same emotions and emotional problems, like depression and anxiety.

And then we lock them up on farms, abuse them, cram them into small spaces, let them have open sores that never get medical attention, and live in their own excrement and in pain.

Connect the dots people.

They do feel pain and they do suffer and eating meat just causes unnecessary suffering.
