content: Edited film: during the truffle season from December to February in southern France, pigs are used to locate underground truffles by scent. To prevent the pig from eating the delicacies, the caveur offers another food reward and digs the truffles out himself. Sometimes the pig is also diverted with a blow by a stick so that a partial deconditioning may occur.
