If it’s show weekend the pigs must be diving!

This video sent in by a reader with a healthy appreciation of all things piggy.

Prefer your pigs more cautious? Here you go.

It is a bit of fun and the crowds love it. The show is great if you stick to the free stuff like this, the jumping relay dogs, the funny decorated cakes and the kid’s wierd vegie sculptures.

I won’t stop going to the show til the kids stop being free entry and start wanting to go on rides.

I do wonder about this stuff – is it really necessary. I don’t go to any “shows” whatever town I live in. Take kids to farms etc, no need to bring it all here along with circus tricks. Haven’t we moved on from the days of making animals do strange things?

Oh ffs, it’s a pig jumping into a pool, not an Indonesian abattoir. Judging by the crowd watching and the applause, it is fairly popular and the pigs don’t seem to be too upset either.

After swimming through a pool of plum and hoi sin sauce please.

I’d be more impressed if they could get them to dive into a barbecue.

This stuff belongs in a circus, not the show. Yes kids, this is what the country folks do. Make their farm animals do tricks!
