Carne
Pork. It's one of the first word that comes in mind, isn't it?
I think there is a fundamental problem. Most of the time comparisons between human and animals highlight commonly known characteristics, mostly predictable and cultural.
Cunning like a fox, frightened rabbit. Pork as a pig. Dirty, perverted, depraved.
What about cooked steak ? meat? Pigs are one of the first sources of edible meat. Meat(flesh) is also ours: our flesh, what we are made of. I wonder why what really links us to the animals is not what comes in mind when thinking about common aspects.
Woman as representation of Human kind. Pig as a rappresentative of Animal kind. But man is an animal. United in breath, in blood, in flesh.
