Vor 45 Jahren erschienen – Pink Floyd’s “Animals” 10. Studioalbum zeigt auf dem Cover das Kohlekraftwerks “Battersea Power Station” mit einem fliegenden Schwein zwischen den Schornsteinen. Für den Fall, dass sich das Schwein selbstständig macht, wurde ein Scharfschütze engagiert, um das Schwein notfalls abschießen zu können.
