Pig scientifically i think is called a boar.What people in Goa would be doing
was to castrag.. the pig when young and then it would become a mild animal. It
did the work of a scavenger. The boar or rann dukor lived in the forest and has
teeth coming out from the side of the snout. They are really wild. while the
farm pigs are huge pigs with lots of fat in them and I think they belong to a
breed with high hormones. They are normally called English pigs. The goan pigs'
meat tasted nice. The meat and the fat was well balanced. I have not tasted the
boar but the farm products are not so tasty and have too much of fat and the
size of meat is more than the fat. albert de souza
