Crushing to see the pigs trying so hard to escape. You’d have to be delusional to even think the pigs are enjoying that one bit and there isn’t any harm being inflicted. It’s clear the reason for grabbing them by the ear and tail is because it’s painful and it seems as if this keeps them from fight back as hard, likely because it’s extremely pain to have your entire body weight be held up by your ear and tail. So fucked up.

One of the objectives of this and similar animal abusing entertainments is to socialize the children to become the next generation of the violent culture. While the animals are the most abusively treated obviously, the pig bagging, chicken roping and similar events are a form of child abuse as well. They assault the sensitivities of the children and deform their feelings. It's incredible that our laws allow this to be done. Right now there's an effort in some Red states to introduce or alter state laws to allow children to work in slaughterhouses and other dangerous workplaces, but this effort is being challenged at least. There doesn't seem to be any similar challenge (other than from people like us) to having children participate in violent, dangerous and abusive entertainments like the pig bagging.
