Tamworth, United Kingdom

The Tamworth is an unusual red-colored pig breed, but its human counterparts have a tougher time standing out. This medium-sized town in south-eastern Staffordshire is home to just over 76,000 people, with a population that has declined by around 10% since the mid-20th century. While the breed reached its peak numbers of around 1,000 in Australia during that period, the Tamworth itself has fallen out of favor, now listed as a 'priority' concern for conservation efforts in the UK. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the rigid Canadian climate it thrives in is a far cry from the temperate conditions here. This sleepy, overlooked corner of the Midlands is best suited for those content to blend into the crowd.
