Wild boars killed at Baghdad zoo

Idiots.

Three wild boars were put to sleep in Iraq on Friday because of swine flu fears, a zoo official said.

The decision to kill the 10-year-old wild boars in Baghdad was a precautionary measure by the government to prevent an outbreak of swine flu, said Adel Musa, the zoo director.

It was done "to break a barrier of fear" zoo visitors had developed in recent days because of the spread of swine flu worldwide, he said.
