Everyone loves their pets. But this Japanese farmer has great love for his, and they are not cats, dogs nor parakeets, but yes twelve hundred hogs.
The Japanese photographer Toshiteu Yamaji spent years documenting the life of Otchan, this friendly farmer who treats his pigs like his children, taking naps and walking them.
According Otchan, this treatment of pigs is his way to "compensate" the sad future of animals that go to slaughter.
This story was published in a book "Pigs and Papa".

Big Major Cay is one of the paradise islands of the Bahamas.
Crystal clear water, white sand... a true paradise!
So far so normal because it is a common thing in the Bahamas, but this island has something interesting about it...
The only difference is that this island is completely uninhabited, I mean uninhabited by humans, because this island, for a totally unknown reason, is inhabited only by pigs.

Surely a boat with pigs must have been shipwrecked near the island and the pigs, as excellent swimmers, managed to get there.
In fact, if even elephants can swim, why shouldn't a pig?
The island became a tourist attraction because when a boat approaches, the swimming pigs come looking for food, near the tourists.

And they are cute! |
An interesting detail is that we think pigs are dirty, but notice how clean is this island, uninhabited by humans ...
A true paradox for an island full of pigs, I'm sure it would be different if it was full of humans.
