The Husum Red Pied or Rotbunte Husumer is a rare Danish breed of domestic pig.[4]: 230 It is a red pig with a white belt or saddle which includes the forelegs, so the head, neck, rump and hind parts are red; it is considered a colour variant of the Angeln Saddleback. The name derives from that of the town of Husum on the coast of Nordfriesland in northern Schleswig-Holstein, where pigs of this kind are documented from the late nineteenth century.[5]
At this time, when the area was under Prussian rule, display of the Danish flag was not permitted; some Danish separatist farmers craftily bred the pigs to possess a white stripe to resemble the Nordic cross in the flag, and it acquired the nickname Danish Protest Pig.[6]
