Well I'll be contentious too then. I see in the paper that the new response to stopping the spread os SARS is to slaughter 10,000 animals in the Guangdong Livestock Market. If these ignorant peasants had any brains in their heads whatsoever they would have realised that having 1000's of animals in small cages pissing and shitting all over eachother wasn't hygeinic in the first place. The finger must be pointed at local authorities for not stopping this trade when the govt placed a ban on several animals being sold in markets and yet they are still there. It makes me sick to my stomach to read articles like that because they are ignoring the basic premise which is hygeine, hygeine, hygeine. You still see people spitting on streets, coughing without hands in front of mouths, rubbish everywhere, the list is endless.
