The Ugliest Dog in the World
But actually, not a dog: a wild boar. I'm told that inoshishi are tasty, but a bit gamey. And I don't know what that implies, but I suspect their stench carries into the meat. This little guy lives in a cage with about 5 others, just across the river. They're let out on a leash for good behavior. Otherwise inoshishi roam free in forests, and steal farmer's vegetables. They're also somewhat dangerous and stupid. I think I was justified in screaming and nearly wetting myself when one darted from the bushes while I was taking out my trash last night. I don't worry as much about the occasional mukade in the kitchen, a geji geji or three in the shower, and the once-in-a-blue-moon cockroach. But giant hairy pigs snuffling around 20 feet from my back door...
