Unless you've had your head in the sand for quite some time, you know that "swine flu blues" are sweeping the nation. Just in time for sniffle season, PETA's swine flu prevention masks have arrived.

We are giving you, dear PETA Files reader, a chance to win the perfect accessory for your next pro-vegan demonstration or leafleting junket (or cross-country flight). All you need to do is simply create your own "swine flu haiku," a short, three-line poem, about this pandemic that has worried people all over the world. Here's mine:
Swine flu fears? Not here
Because I am vegan and
Wash my hands a lot
(Remember, the first line in haiku must have five syllables, the second must have seven, and the third one must have five.)
What's that? You can do better? Well, then, prove it. Submit your clever haiku in the comments section below by December 9, 2009. We'll pick 5 winners on December 11, 2009. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Good luck!

Don't have a cow man
Stop swine flu by not eating
pigs. They want to live.

I carry a mask in my purse.
As no one I know is a nurse.
To me, eating pork = curse.

Swine flu is nasty
like all viruses that grow.
Vaccines grow in eggs.

Pigs are far too cute,
To be munched upon by you,
Stop swine, Go vegan !

When we murder swine
there Is a Price to be paid.

Factory farm fear,
Pigs tortured by flu-sick swine,
Our friends are sick too
Posted by: Vegan Mike | November 26, 2009 09:08 AM
My alarm is on
Regarding Smithfield's flu spawn
We will stop this wrong!

No contribution as such but feel the need to respond to the following and defend the pigs :-)
"...pigs are dirty and muddy.."
As I am sure most people are aware by now, the idea that pigs are dirty is a complete myth. Viruses such as H1N1 are rife amongst these animals because of the horrific and intensive conditions they are forced to live under.

Sickness is among us,
Called epedimic piggy.
Plaging our city.

What does swine flu have to do with being a vegan? You all do know that swine flu is not related to pigs at all besides the name right?
Posted by: Sky | November 26, 2009 05:20 PM
as lysol prices rise
sanitiser prices soar
piggy flu go away
Posted by: nicole licklider | November 27, 2009 11:48 PM
swine flu bad karma
no escape from evil greed
best to be vegan

Got the swine flu blues?
It's your fault - do not eat meat
Pigs caused the swine flu

Even if I could
Die from a sweet pig's coughing,
He's not worth eating
Posted by: Natorria Ross | November 30, 2009 12:52 PM
Sky - you need to research your facts. The virus is a result of factory farming.
The lonely pig cries
While longing for sun and blue skies.
Stop all the sickness.
