Dogs have their day. Horses have their hay. Cats have their way, and pigs get no respect. Even now, some are calling 2007 the Year of the Pig when it's really the Year of the Boar, and everybody knows that pitting Porky against the Arkansas mascot (a type of wild boar) is going to end in a bloodbath: They're not the same thing.

"We are very fortunate in having been successful in securing important people," says Zou, to participate in the events.
