We've seen the racing pigs before, a couple times I think.

And we've seen them race around the track



But the burning question is, are they forced to do this?
Are they being abused by their owners/trainers?
Are they being mistreated for the amusement of callous race goers?

Is PETA right?

Or do the piggies enjoy, nay, look forward with anticipation, to the race?



Looks to me like they can't wait to, git 'er done.

But they're not showing what the guy standing behind them is doing!
