In our increasingly sanitized world, the poo pig is a breed in decline. I had heard tell of the Korean poo pigs, their numbers dwindling due to prohibitions on the sale of their meat, rumored to be exceptionally succulent, because of concerns about their potential role in the spread of disease. Apparently, the Goans also have what they call "pig toilets". These, too, are likely to disappear in the near future, despite all the hippies and their primitive-worship trance music. Just another majestic creature sacrificed on the altar of so-called progress. The poo pig will be our grandchildren's unicorn.
I thank Onderdonk, whose postcard reminded me that I wanted to address this important topic.
