EU site on "the life of pigs"

Farmland is an EU site, trying to get kids from EU countries - mostly remote from rural life and unaware of the life of farm animals - to learn about them and their life in the farm. Each animal is given a short presentation and a powerpoint file is available for download as well. The "Life Cycle of a Pig" has some really nice piggy pictures. There is also a game available, for those interested. Available in all EU languages.
