Pass the Pigs is a commercial version of the dice game, Pig
Each turn involves one player throwing two model pigs, each of which has a dot on one side only.

PIG OUT is a party game in which players take a pig character (including Burnt out Boaris the drunken lout, Lady Gammon Steak a toffee nosed sow ...) and place them at the start which is at the center of a playing board that spirals outwards to the finish.
Players move from start to finish, based on dice rolls attempting to collect a total of six donuts on the way.

You were saying?

Pig farmers in Britain are worried about increasing government regulation as a European regulation requiring hogs to have access to "manipulable material" is about to be enshrined into U.K. law.

This is just one of the EU regulations, from beer in Germany to Denmark having to give Ireland the 900 year old ship they salvaged from a fjord a few years ago just because the timber came from Ireland, that grate on one country or another. If this sort of thing continues, I wonder how long the EU will survive.

Oh, I see, sorry. I misunderstood your comment, I see now it was aimed at BigVs comment.

Fair point. However, your original comment was in the same paragraph so appeared to be about the games, not the pig care laws and that was a bit wtf.

Your right, I just typed what I was thinking without giving context. My bad.
