Peru pig farmers call for pork consumption
Men dressed up as pigs take a break during a campaign by Peru's Agriculture Ministry to promote the consumption of pork in Lima May 5, 2009. Pork sales in Peru have registered a drop of up to 15 percent in recent weeks due to the outbreak of influenza A (H1N1), formerly referred to as swine flu, the Agriculture Ministry said. The signs read: "innocents" and "Peru without flu". [Xinhua]
