The egg-laying wool-milk sow is a phrase used to describe a thing, person or problem solution

which "has only advantages, satisfies all needs, meets all requirements".

The saying was first mentioned in a poem in Germany in 1956:

The struggle for the egg-laying wool pig

Once a breeder came up with the idea,

What the animal world would be like,

If, by clever mating.

Fish create with frizzy hair.

They'll be shaved like poodles

And the species otherwise multiply

What we need is a pig,

The merino wool wears

And laying eggs to boot.

That should be your breeding!

This ideal conception is illustrated by an imaginary farm animal, which as a hybrid being is the Benefits of different animal species, namely of chicken (laying eggs), sheep (supplying wool), cow (milk) and pig (meat) are united in itself.

Symbolically it also stands for abundance, overreaching, gluttony and excess.

Our world is not a woolly milk pig.

The wool-milk sow is now dead and the question is what is left and WHO HAS THE

WOOL-MILK SOW killed??? What do we do now?
