This year is called Red Pig year according to the Chinese horoscope.
Though in Lithuania we keep pigs in farms & use them only for meat,
I've noticed that pig is valued for much more.
In some countries it is common to keep a pig as a pet
because it is the second most intelligent animal after a dog.
That's why pigs are very susceptible to training.
In Lithuania we have an understanding of a pig as a very unclean animal.
That's why the expression "You look like a pig"
means untidiness.
However, a symbol of pig is different in other cultures.
I could clearly understand it when I was in England
long time ago and the hosting family
was collecting pictures and figures of pigs;
what is common in UK :)
The biologists say that pigs are very tidy if
you give them tidy environment :)
Maybe that's why they are being trained & loved
by people and participate in mode shows
as you see in the pic :)
