I can see why it would be popular. Lot safer than bull or horse rodeo.

But comparing the sizes of the pig to us, I’d think it’ll put a lot of strain on the pig’s body.

What breed of pig is that, I wonder? Are those full-grown hogs? Those look rather petite compared to the half-ton farm pigs in the U.S.

Hopefully, they will discover an alternate way to hold on to the pigs that doesn’t involve a rope around its neck.

Is this an annual event? I’d burn vacation days to see this live. …or maybe participate.
