Foreign pigs

Sir: I thought both Auberon Waugh and Charles Moore would be interested to learn that it is illegal to call your pig 'Napoleon' in France. (You may, however, call your boeuf 'Wellington').

Will this mean a large-scale rewriting of Animal Farm for the bibliotheques of Unit- ed Europe?
