[...] Another strange thing floating in our rivers here in the Midwest, mixed in with all the fecal matter and E. coli bacteria, is a Staph bacteria called MRSA, Methicillin Resistant Staphlococcus aureus. This potentially dangerous bacteria can be a cause of necrotizing fasciitis, the flesh-eating disease. Antibiotic-resistant Staph is increasingly prevalent in CAFOs, where farmers must use high levels of antibiotics to prevent diseases that would otherwise spread like wildfire in a highly populated confinement. (There’s a lot more to be said about MRSA, but Dr. Allan Kornberg covered it well in Hog CAFOs Can Affect Human Health.) [...]

Pigs are definitely intelligent animals. All the more reason not to treat them so poorly by keeping them in CAFOs.

Stephanie,
This was an interview with Dr. Allan Kornberg, a respected physician and a board member of Farm Sanctuary. For his credentials, please see the end of the article.
It is unfortunate you did not read the whole article. We did not say MRSA is a flesh-eating disease. We said it can cause the flesh-eating disease. If you are questioning this medical fact, you might want to read the following articles:
http://www.deadlydeceit.com/necrotizingf.html
http://www.webmd.com/news/20061012/mrsa-infections-can-be-flesh-eaters
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2268334
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/546141
Or you may want to read MRSA, a book by John A. Weigelt, M.D.
From our point of view, necrotizing fasciitis, the flesh-eating disease, can be caused by MRSA.
Perhaps you will quote your degrees and the basis for your statement.

I had to stop reading this after I saw the term “flesh eating disease.” MRSA IS NOT a flesh eating disease, and to say so is ridiculous and irresponsible reporting.
