    They are so cute. But, how come they are all piglets?

    I guess pigs wouldn’t be agile (and cute) enough to gain any interest from participants. Mind you, there were piglets from 7 countries, from as far as South Africa, to Russia.

    having exercise since they are young can produce more meat, less fat and better taste. :D
