Dear Umberto: Thank you very much for giving some help on the wild vs.
domestic pig thing. I have the Payne & Bull, and would like to look at
your posted & downloadable papers, but unfortunately they all appear to be
tied up somehow with Facebook -- I refuse to be on what they call "social
media". They won't let you download any paper unless you sign up to be on
Facebook! Horrors! Is there any other route to download any of them? Sorry
to be such a privacy-loving auld curmudgeon. Cheers -- Dr. Deb
