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."

some nations and people located there astound me with their general stupidity and general simplicity
3rd world logic ftw eh?
Did who get what?
Free The Pig! He looks so sad!
Did the audience get your wry comment on how ALL peoples' lives are influenced by the dominant relgion, not just Thirdworlders.
Or am I just so strung out on Nyquil and Claritin that I'm reading too much into it?
It's an opinion, if people get it or not doesn't matter to me. I'm just firm in my belief of separation of church and state to keep crap like this from getting out of hand. Hell if I care if they want to build the pig it’s very own Alcatraz, I’m just glad I have nothing to do with it.
/sarcasm
The quarantine is silly but I think having this little guy in their zoo is cute. He's in a zoo so I doubt his new enclosure is any worse/better than his usual digs
