But what happened to them? The managers of an amusement park in China have decided to have a piggy bungee jump. A video of the event was shared this Saturday on social networks. The facts occurred at the tourist site of Meixin Red Wine Town, in the region of Congqing (center).
The amusement park simply wanted to increase the attractiveness of its site. The pig, attached by the front and rear legs, fell 70 m attached to the elastic of the attraction. If some maintain that the animal lost consciousness, a cameraman present on the spot explained to the Global Times that the pig was in fact "very calm", probably in shock.

The images aroused a wave of indignation, both among Internet users and among animal protection associations. "It is horrible to think of what this pig must have gone through. Pigs are very intelligent and sensitive creatures, ”said the World Animal Protection association in a tweet. “Whether this animal is destined for the slaughterhouse or not, there remains a living being which deserves a life worth living. "
For their part, the managers of the amusement park explained that the animation was very popular with visitors. However, faced with the wave of indignation, they decided to suppress this strange activity. As a reminder, there is not yet a law in China protecting animal welfare.
