Pig toilet
A pig toilet (sometimes called a "pig sty latrine") is a simple type of dry toilet consisting of an outhouse mounted over a pig sty, with a chute or hole connecting the two. The pigs consume the feces of the users of the toilet.
Pig toilets () were once common in rural China, where a single Chinese ideogram () signifies both "pigsty" and "privy".〔(Ancestors for the Pigs: Pigs in Prehistory, Sarah M Nelson, University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology, 1998, ISSN 1048-5325 (p.16) )〕 Funerary models of pig toilets from the Han dynasty (206 BC to AD 220) prove that it was an ancient custom.〔(Minneapolis Institute of Art: Han Dynasty Pig Sty-Latrine )〕 These arrangements have been strongly discouraged by the Chinese authorities in recent years;〔(Sanitation Without Water, Uno Winblad and Wen Kilama, MacMillan 1985 ISBN 0-333-39140-3 (p.13) )〕 although as late as 2005, they could still be found in remote northern provinces.〔(Appropriate Sanitation Systems in Developing Countries, Thechnical University of Denmark (p.9 of 10) )〕
Chinese influence may have been the origin of the use of pig toilets in Okinawa before World War II.〔(Native Okinawan Village Official Site: Unique Features of an Okinawan Home )〕
