Pig toilet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pig toilet is a simple type of toilet consisting of an outhouse mounted over a pig sty with a chute or hole connecting the two[1]. The pigs consume the faeces of the users of the toilet.
They are mainly found in the Indian state of Goa, and are waning in popularity[2]. The subsequent use of the pigs for food carries a significant risk for human health[3].
