What's the name of the French pig ad?

Looking for the name and/or pictures of a classic French advert with a pig.
There was at least one in Paris on Rue d'Alesia around Christmas. My friend explained the ads were something that that was classic and everyone knew about. The Paris example had just a cartoon of a pig and something to the effect "Don't cry little pig, you're going to _____ (name of Butcher/store)"
Here is a similar example, just more violent.
Merci.

Whatever you do, if you Google Image Search on 'petit cochon', make sure you turn SafeSearch on.

Pita:
"it's look to be a famous humorous advertising ( find enamel plaque on ebay) circa 1930 for the pig of Auvergne (french région), I see only this one and don't know if they is other version (I also see many postcards of this ad but I suppose it's recent reprint )posted by peacay at 5:21 PM on June 23, 2007
and "prodigue" it's because the pig is generous ! in France we say "dans le cochon tout est bon"(in the pig all is good)
Sorry to not find more about it (if I see some thing more i'll tell you)"

I emailed Pita at Agence Eureka. If she has an answer I'll let you know.
