TIME FOR A "JOINT" EMERGENCY TALMUDICAL TEACHING AND FATWA

SICHUAN SICKNESS: Officials have launched a campaign to educate farmers not to slaughter sick pigs or eat their meat; meanwhile some party cadres have lost their jobs

---------------------------------------------------

The death toll in China from a mysterious pig-borne disease continued to rise, with several more cities affected, statistics showed yesterday, despite the government saying that the epidemic was under control.

The number of people killed by the streptococcus suis bacteria, which is usually spread among pigs, rose to 32 while the number of cases increased to 163, according to the health ministry's Web site.

That was one more death and 11 more cases than on Friday.

While some suspected cases had tested negative, more suspected or confirmed cases were being found, with a significant number of people still in hospital, 24 of them in critical condition.

Only 11 have been treated and released, the ministry said.

The epidemic first discovered last month was now affecting 155 villages in seven cities in Sichuan Province, including the provincial capital Chengdu, up from two cities initially, according to the ministry.

Do you need further proof of the shared mutual truths of Koran and Torah, of the shared, mutual truths of Mohammed and Moses.

1. This is not the basis for the laws of Kashrut.

The prohibitions against eating meat from a pig are not based on the possibilities of contracting illnesses. The laws of Kosher are much more complicated than that and it is one of the laws in the Torah that does not have a logical explanation. Following the laws of Kashrut is an act of faith.

2. Actually an act of discipline

and according to Rebbe Zvi of Vilna - the discipline is highest when one is a vegetarian, as Rebbe Zvi of Vilna (and Ohio) was.

3. Do you need further proof of the shared mutual truths of Koran and Torah?

Yes, I do.

That's like saying:
Mormons forbid tobacco. There's no doubt that it causes cancer. Do you need further proof of the 'Book of Mormon' the truth of Joseph Smith?

Please...
