Image description

With germ-suited soldiers watching, a Taiwan hog farmer uses electric prods to electrocute piglets March 24 as part of an island wide slaughter to eradicate an outbreak of hog foot and mouth disease. Authorities have ordered the destruction of all pigs, even healthy ones at farms where the deadly airborne contagion has been found. Officials estimate that a pork export ban imposed on March 20 will have a staggering effect on Taiwan's economy, slashing a half a percentage point from the island's 1997 economic growth.
