Destroy the Invaders 🐛
Killing and destroying invasive species will be my priority when I own my own land. I’m not afraid to use chemicals and fire to destroy invasives and build a good wildlife habit on my land consistent with my hobby farm goals. You don’t have to be a gronola eating greenie to be a good steward of the land.
The Fascinating Story of the Danish Protest Pigs – Daily Scandinavian
Through a crafty program of crossbreeding, Danish farmers tried to create a new breed of pig that faintly resembled their beloved home’s flag. It wasn’t terribly difficult, they decided to use biology as their secret weapon. The banner of Denmark is relatively simple—a flat red background covered by a long, white Nordic cross — so all the pig needed was a coat of red fur and one or two prominent white belts. They named it Protestschwein, the Danish Protest Pig.
Danish Protest Pigs 🐽
The Danish Protest Pig is a rare breed of domestic pig. Due to its red color, its broad white vertical belt, and a trace of a white horizontal belt it resembles the colors of the Flag of Denmark. It originated in North Frisia in Southern Schleswig in the beginning of the 20th century, when Danes living in the area were not allowed to raise the Danish flag and kept and displayed the Protest Pig instead, making it a symbol of their cultural identity.
