The National Pork Producers

The National Pork Producers Council's (NPPC) warning Friday to Canadians to halt hog shipments to the United States is being taken very seriously by Ontario Pork chair Will Nap. He has asked the Ontario government to halt the strike at Quality Meat Packers, which since December 6, has left the pork board scrambling to find new markets for 25,000 pigs normally shared web hosting processed there.Today Nap, who terms the situation "so different from anything we've ever faced before," is sending a letter requesting a meeting with premier Mike Harris over the issue. He now estimates 15,000 hogs which should have been slaughtered were held on farms last week.
