About 10 years ago I worked security at a county fair in western PA where the big stink was "donkey diving." Basically, they put a donkey about 30 feet in the air, then tilted the platform the guy was on until he went tumbling into the water.
Having the regal honor of being security for this fiasco, I got to not only see this wonder of nature, but be prepared to fend off protestors who might find the whole thing inhumane.
Basically, the end result was nothing but boredom. It only took a day or two for people to realize that watching a donkey fall isn't terribly exciting. Unlike the Pig in your pic, donkey's don't assume the "superman" pose, or get happy looks on their faces as they frolic in the air. They just sorta fall like a bag of sugar off the kitchen counter. Then somebody drags them out of the water, and the guy gets a two hour stay of execution until the next show.
I hope the Pig is happy. God knows it looks better than my job most days...
