Original Title: TIL about the Danish Protest Pig, a breed created in the early 1900s by Danes under Prussian rule. Unable to display their red-and-white national flag, they bred pigs with a similar color pattern as a symbolic act of rebellion. The breed is now recognized as a cultural symbol of resistance.
