    Pig power
    Civic groups, including the Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan, demonstrate in front of the presidential office yesterday to protest against `divine pig' contests held this month. Sacrificial pigs are specially raised and then slaughtered for purifying ceremonies during the ghost festival. The poster reads: ''[Pigs are] Forced to put on weight. Humans and gods are angry.''
