for a nicer bit of meat.<\/p>\n<p>However, one location in China is taking this a bit too far and has created a colourful village for its inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>Some 600 pigs in Weiji, Suining, are getting to use toys, can roam around the woods for nine hours a day and have had their accommodation painted.<\/p>\n<p>Agricultural officer Hu Juchun said: &quot;A good environment will leave pigs in a good mood and keep them healthy and it's therefore logical that the pork will be better.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He added as well as making for tastier pork, it has also turned into something of a tourist spot.<\/p>\n<p>It all seems a bit far fetched and just goes to show you how some farmers will go to extreme lengths in their search for perfection.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<img
