Piglets run in total confusion during a race
Oh my! Piglets scurry around wearing little jerseys in a pot-bellied race that will have you in tears! Are you crying from laughing, or are you like us and can't help but question what is actually happening to these animals.
The piglets in this video do not understand that they are running a race, and find themselves frantically running about in total confusion. The outcome would be pure chance not due to any accurate possibilities.
This <a href="https://rumble.com/v51tzv-super-cute-pigs-are-racing-who-gets-to-eat-the-oreos-first.html" target="_blank">piglet race</a> appears to be occurring at a family farm or a farm especially tailored for such events. Pigs are constantly being bred to reproduce more pigs so it is hard to know which season the sow may have given birth.
Videos like this always have us wondering where the animals have come from and where they are going. In most cases, the outcome is less than desirable. In this situation, unless the pigs were predestined to live out their lives in peace, they would have been sent to a feeding facility and then transported to a slaughterhouse.
We wish we could say differently, but the truth of farmed animals is quite bleak. That is the reason why so many people have chosen to take themselves out of the equation. Many would choose not to participate in this piglet race or farm adventure, or even go further to not eat animals or their products. Doing so, is the first step to awareness.
In the past, events such as the one in this video have actually been shut down by <a href="https://rumble.com/v3zsbj-animal-activists-scramble-to-save-birds-after-truck-carrying-chickens-turns.html" target="_blank">Animals Rights Activists</a> protesting the abuse of animals. Yes, we acknowledge these animals are not being abused such as that in hog wrestling events and the like, but it is still mistreatment. We have to ask ourselves - if these were puppies, would we still be laughing? Therein lies the definition of speciesism. The manner in which we regard animals so differently.
Yes, it is okay to laugh at this video. Yet it is important to remember the ways in which we partake in the use and abuse of animals on a daily basis. Zoos and the like are the same form of animal manipulation for entertainment. In the natural, a mother pig would stay with her children much past this age. They would nuzzle and root and play together. Momma would go to rest and create a nice big bed where her piglets are and one by one they would pile up on top of her for a nice long nap.
These events are a great opportunity for kids to get to spend time with farm animals, but more-so are farmed sanctuaries where animals will get the opportunity to live their life unaffected by humans and their desire to consume animals. We need to develop a kinder world where all animals are accepted, not just the ones we consider pets. We wonder if a child watching this video or is at this farm would think that it is wrong, or if they would simply become overjoyed because of the silly scarring of the piglets? It is only natural and we are not judging anyone. It is just important to introduce this new perspective, for anyone hoping to contribute to a kinder and compassionate world.

Puppy Adorably Plays In Baby's Rocker
Puppies are much like children. As seen in this video, an adorable puppy has climbed into a toddlers chair while it was vacant and begins pawing at the dancing toy. This video is outstanding as the puppy reacts just as a human child would. Is it because the puppy has witnessed the child engaging in this act and wanted to try it out for himself, or is it total natural instinct?
Many will claim the similarities between puppies and children. Not only the adorable nuances that keep you entertained but the amount of work and constant attention they require. You may even relate their constant puppy bites to a teething child with a soother. Here's an idea: Puppy Soother. Take it a run.
Many new pet owners claim that having a puppy in the house is much like a newborn baby. Parents aren't offended so it must be true, and there's a lot of evidence to back up this claim. It isn't always all fun and games.
With the rise of pet rescue adoptions and "rescue dogs" has brought with it the relation of animals with special needs to that of children. Alright, I know it's easy to put your dog in a crate and try to get some work done. In theory. What if your dog has separation anxiety and cannot stand it when you are out of sight? What if you can't even run to the grocery store without your puppy going into a complete mental breakdown. Sometimes lashing out by destroying anything in sight, or annoying your neighbors with howls, barks and cries until you return. Something like what would happen if you left a child alone, am I right?
That being said, the relationship may go both ways in terms of a service dog. Individuals suffering from a plethora of disorders have gained extreme relief through the service of these emotionally attuned dogs. They provide an outstanding sense of calm and eventual relief through ensuring their owner's safety. The physical touch of the dog and their ability to remain calm affects the human suffering their attack in a truly special manner.
This video sparks another outstanding idea of puppy cradles to help minimize the child-like effects of new-ownership. Anything to keep them entertained! This seems to work. Plus, it's <a href="https://rumble.com/v5yvl7-maja-our-little-german-shepherd-doggy.html" target="_blank">adorable</a> to watch.
Yes, your new <a href="https://rumble.com/v6h7gq-whoops-wait-till-the-end.html" target="_blank">puppy</a> will demand your constant attention and for you to provide them with comfort and entertainment. But don't worry. There is good news coming. Much like children, adding another furry member to your family may be the best thing you ever do.
When you are in the company of a dog, you can't help but adopt their natural instinct of truly enjoying life by living in the moment. They get you up and about. A walk is the best way to clear your head, and your dog will ensure a happy adventure. You can't help but laugh at the silly things they do and smile at their goofy grins. Being in the company of a dog, especially a puppy so new to the world is truly a special gift.
