I agree…

So everybody repeat after me:

We wanna know!

What makes the pig go?!

Some think pigs are so intelligent it’s their competitive spirit which drives them.

Others think pigs do it for fun. And healthy lifestyle.

What do you think? Check gallery below:

“The Royal Adelaide Show is South Australia’s biggest annual event run by the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia. Experiences run the whole gamut from carnival rides, exhibitions and attractions to exquisite handicraft, cookery and wide variety of champion livestock and animals. It is at the Show that rural South Australia and City business alike can showcase their best produce, wares and services.

The Royal Adelaide Show is the ‘people’s event’ and truly offers something for everyone, such as food and wine tastings; entertainment with bands, dancing, comedy acrobatic; exhibitions and displays; fashion parades; competitions; animals (livestock and pets); farmyard nursery and animal petting area.”
