Prices Go Up When Pigs Take A Dive
 |
It’s for real. Just search online for diving pigs, and you’ll find stories and videos.
Huang Demin of the Hunan province, claims his pigs are happier, healthier and leaner than pigs that don’t dive at least 3 times a day. And, he says, he gets more money for them in the meat market.
According to internet articles, it takes about 4 months to train pigs to enjoy taking the swine dive. One report notes that pigs must work for their supper - an hour of exercise and 2,000 steps (measured with a pedometer).
If you visit China, you may have a chance to see the pork belly flop for yourself. Diving pigs have turned into a tourist attraction at several locations, including the recreational park in Donglu, near Wenchang City.
If you prefer to watch it from the comfort of your home, check out the video at www.farmshow.com.
