Okay, if I have to I can participate in the cow theme... It's just that
these two "cows" were far away (I guess cows, calves, bulls all count as
cows :-). This is a small crop of the original pic, so not so great in
detail.

This fellow was headed downhill, and I didn't have time to think much about
the shot (like forcing the flash on on the C5050), nor was I inclined to ask
him to stop. The lighting was pretty contrasty, so his face is pretty dark.
Maybe someone skilled in PS could lighten his face, but the pic really isn't
worth the bother. Anyways, it fits the theme, that's about all one can say.

You're right, there isn't much for anything to eat, so most of the pigs in
the villages aren't that well fed. They mostly run free in the streets,
competing with the dogs, scavenging for food. They also hang around the
outhouse areas (mostly the outhouses are just areas), which even the dogs
avoid. I don't eat pork down there anymore.
