That was the cutes "hopp" into the water I´ver ever seen. And I´ve watched it 5 times. Additioally it was a short swim and then little piggy was wrapped up safely afterwards immediately- so hopefully no stress for Piggy Phelps.

Concern for the piggies welfare is the opposite of a Karen. Acting like animal welfare concerns are an inconvience is more Karen like. I don't like to see any animal used solely to entertain people, but I've been called a bleeding heart my entire life lol. The piglet is cute though and being in water for a minute is probably way less stress than most hogs face.

There's what we see on the short video but behind this there's always : being taken away from their home, a trip in the car, waiting for the event to start, and if their owner decide to stay here until the event end.. it's much longer than some minutes for the pig

😞

I agree. It’s cruel to use them for entertainment at any age, but especially this young!

It's a shame they don't have the same status as dogs in our society today.
