Some conspiracy theory for you with this Lion Monument tribute..
If you look closely at the dark area above the carving of the lion the shaded area looks like a boar/pig they suggest !!!
The theory is the sculptor, Thorvaldsen, was angry that he was poorly compensated for his work/ underpaid by the French official who hited him , so he subtly wanted to refer to them as pigs.
Another theory as well.is that the rulers at the time for highly supported of fascism so he wanted to subtly send a message that all they are is really "fascist pigs"
Just a theories, no concrete evidence to support these theories.
