Concerning the animal named pig when it is alive or pork when it is transformed into meat, Brittany constitutes a singular paradox: while 14 million are raised there (compared to 3 million inhabitants), due to industrial breeding they are now almost invisible. What a pity. Sometimes pampered, sometimes rejected, ultimately consumed by man, the pig is in fact much closer to us than we believe. If we paid more attention to our "cousin" the pig, it would have many many things to teach us.
