Home On The Pig’s Back
Farmers on Rarotonga have recently hit on a masterly solu tion to the problem of wandering pigs.
Unwilling to shoot or detain the pigs, they simply catch them and paint the words AKONO on the animals’ backs in bright blue letters.
When an owner sees his pig again, he gets the message, as does the community—according to the “Cook Islands News”.
Which proves the old saying, presumably, that it pays to advertise—particularly if your message is driven home on the pig’s back.
