A theme park in China has apologised after a video of a live pig attached to a bungee rope and pushed off a platform 70 metres (230 feet) high sparked fierce backlash on social media.

The “vulgar” stunt went viral on Weibo, China’s most widely used social media platform, and showed the pig being carried by two men up a metal staircase onto the platform.

The 75kg pig, which had its feet tied up so it could not escape, was then dressed in a cape and secured to bungee ropes before being pushed off.

Squeals can be heard from the pig as it plunged down, accompanied by laughter and cheering from a crowd that had gathered to watch.

The theme park, located in the south-western municipality of Chongqing, said the stunt was meant to promote the opening day of the park’s bungee attraction on 18 January.

It said in a statement: “We sincerely accept netizens’ criticism and advice and apologised to the public.

“We will improve [our] marketing of the tourist site, to provide tourists with better services.”

The Chinese public condemned the act, calling it animal cruelty and “torture”.

One commenter said: "You can't torture pigs just because the Year of the Pig has passed."

Another said: "This is animal cruelty, no doubt about it. I recommend we tie the organiser up to do the bungee jump instead."

According to local reports, the park’s owner said: “We let the pig make the first jump [on our opening day] because pork prices have been very high this year and recently they dropped a bit.”

The owner, who was unnamed, also said the stunt would mark the end of Year of the Pig and ring in the Lunar New Year, which is of the Rat this Saturday.

A public relations officer reportedly added the pig was taken to a slaughterhouse after the incident and its trauma during the stunt was “just a bit of entertainment”.

Animal cruelty is not prohibited in China, but a growing awareness of animal welfare issues in recent years has seen petitions and calls for the government to implement policies.

Jason Baker, PETA Asia's Vice President of International Campaigns, told the Independent: "This is cruelty to animals at its worst. A bungee jump is a scary experience even for consenting humans – just imagine the outright terror of being forcibly strung up by your legs and thrown from a high platform. That's the treatment that this pig received, all for a cheap laugh.

"Pigs experience pain and fear, just as we do, and this kind of disgusting PR stunt should be illegal.

"The theme park deserves every shred of the backlash it's receiving online, and the Chinese public's angry response should be a wake-up call to China's policymakers that they must implement animal protection laws immediately," he added.

Leave it to a chinese theme park to not only have bungee jumping pigs but to eat them afterwards. This almost sounds like one of those 'beat the dogs so they get scared and taste better' situations they went on about a few years back

Indeed, this is relatively tame behaviour for Chinamen. They think that fear and pain flavors the meat in a good way (no wonder they smell funny).

they also think eating dicks will make their dicks bigger

this is a fucking super power

Indeed, a legitimate superpower, and all of it achieved in the past five decades or so.

And all the cruelty is nothing to do with the supposedly wicked CCP, but solely with the innate nature of the Chinaman.

How does this make you feel?

Muslims would also burn cows and sheep to a crisp alive for their celebrations of presumably Ramadan in China.
They think making the animal suffer makes the meat tastier somehow when it's the opposite that's true, according to science. Very stupid.

Edit:
@3119967d0c thinks the correct spelling is Mudslime, which an Islamaphobe!
And it's not Ramadan, it's a festival known as Eid Al-Adha.

Here's the gorey images. Don't click on it.
It's apparently not just Chinese Muslims that engage in this insane ritualistic practice. I somehow convinced myself that slants are the ones with no compassion for animals, all the dog meat, dolphin and whale sashimi and whatevers. Fucking gross.

Nice completely ignorant comment. But, did you not mean to write 'mudslimes'?

 

[frozenrunner]

These people are horrendous. Anyone who has ever seen them acting as tourists can attest to this.

Fuck the Chinese.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: barely civilized yellow monkeys.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

They've killed off everyone with any refinement or gentility during the many mass killings of the last century and a half. They're a peasant culture and peasant cultures are brutal and dehumanizing by their very nature. I hope the next flu pandemic (which will start in China because they always start in China due to their poor livestock practices) kills them off in huge numbers, it could only improve the world.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

When you get distracted enough in your day to day life to forget how most Chinese people are fucking garbage subhumans, they come out with something to remind you of that fact.

Oh yeah, thanks for spotting the typo. I'll fix it.
I can't find the source anymore, it was many years back when someone shared it along with gruesome videos and it was some mudslime celebration of sorts in China. But then Halal and Kosher slaughter is cruel as fuck too, burning the animal alive is just a step up.

What I definitely know is cooking sheep alive to feast on is a religious and cultural practice in Xin Jiang, home to lots of religions, the main one which is Islam.

Xinjiang has more than 24,000 Mosques, 59 Temples, 1 Taoist temple, 277 Churches, 26 Cathedrals, and one Orthodox Church. You tell me about brutal Chinese Muslims and how I'm being ignorant then. I really like Xin Jiang food, that doesn't mean I'm going take a blind eye on some of their absolutely backwards brutal slaughtering methods.

I actually found the festival, it's called "古爾邦節", or "Eid Al-Adha". I wasn't able to find the bloody images I want, then stumbled across one talking about it with the festival in its tags. Now take a load of this.

Spoiler: NSFL: Disgusting animal gore

At least have the decency to kill the animal before shoving a fucking skewer into it!

Ahhh how ignorant of me to get the festival wrong. Sure it's not Ramadan, my bad. Now tell me which religion this is.

I've had first hand experience with this live slaughter shit, fucking twice. We're not counting other animals here, just ones I think shouldn't be eaten.

Spoiler: stuff

Once was in Tibet for a holiday. The tour guide talked about Tibetan stuff and Yaks. Later in the night they decided to feast on one, the animal was severed with tourists watching. I stood behind the crowd, the sounds were so revolting that I cried. My mum took me back to the hotel. Apparently that's how their religion handle meat.
Second was in Suzhou where some guy was selling dog meat, alive dogs were slaughtered and you'd hear the sad cry from distances. The store actually made it into local news and got shut down in a couple days. Suzhou is home to lots of dog lovers.

Even a Muslim like yourself should be against religion's ritualistic animal slaughter practices. It's beyond fucked up.

I like this, but not anything above there.

I'll forward this to the next idiotic Ivy League MBA who drones about the importance of making product available in China.

 

[Pinot Pierrot]

There's a certain kind of avant-garde to this stunt that would probably end up appealing to those with a dark sense of humor; the pig in superhero cosplay that can't fly, a 75kg (165~lb.) fleshy boulder tied to a colorful cord before being tipped over a balcony just to watch it bobble, all done within a theme park Made In China (whose prospects are already not looking good thanks to this video) to celebrate its grand opening at the end of a Chinese Zodiac cycle.

In another timeline, the organizers would have stuffed the pig with firecrackers, lit the long fuse, and then ducked into a bunker to watch the bacon fry. Karma dictates that the pig would then run over while no one was looking and take shelter next to them.

Speaking of tasteless slaughter and the Chinese, I've found probably the most tonedeaf ad in human history:

>that fucking narration and soundtrack

Holy crap, all those heavily-accented faux pas squeezed into a single video, straight out of a dystopia segment. Maybe some of the money spent on the video tour should've gone to a foreigner who can sound like a living, breathing human at least half the time.

Indeed, this is relatively tame behaviour for Chinamen. They think that fear and pain flavors the meat in a good way (no wonder they smell funny).

I am told that in some of the more traditional, rural areas, they will gradually chop bits of the animals they eat- think taking a drumstick or two off a chicken or a dog- before they actually kill them.

I think you underestimate how difficult it would be to keep such an animal alive. Probably a joke just went over my head.

Just as curiosity: in the 19th century, I am told that any open fracture was a more or less guaranteed death sentence.

Oh, it's no joke. And yes- I should have been more clear- we're not talking walking around a Chinese market, you go to a food stall, the owner has a dog in a cage that's only got one leg and you ask if you could have the remaining one and your man tells you he whacked the first one off a month ago and has served up about one a week since.

But we are talking about them slicing cuts of meat off while animals are still alive. It's not like they particularly care if an animal dies of shock, so how long this sort of torture goes on I don't know. I heard of this from a rather sensitive woman who would not joke about such a thing, so I didn't really think to inquire about whether they would cauterise the wounds with a blowtorch or bandage them tight enough to halt the bleeding. I'm sure a lot of the animals they eat could survive losing a limb or two before being finally killed for at least a few hours if not days if you did either, so they probably do one of those. Obviously wouldn't work if you were trying to cut meat off the torso or something.

 

[Slimy Time]

Fear floods the body and salts the meat.

The crowd doesn't seem to be outraged.
Many outlets either mute the video or make an longer one just to cram their opinions in there.

Thanks for the unedited video. Guy shouts out "The golden pig brings good luck" before yeeting the pig.

 

[Male Idiot]

Wait, am I missing something here, they stuck it on a spit immediately after stunning? They didn't bleed it out, remove its hair and gut it, they just impaled a brain dead, still living pig? What the actual fuck.

No wonder their slaughter was such a clusterfuck. Anyone remotely competent could've handled it better, and without the sick theatrics. Here's some Hungarians who do pretty much the same things your Cubans did (sledgehammer, in front of kids), but efficiently and properly. The pig doesn't make a sound and is completely docile (likely because these people raised it from birth, so it's completely at ease), and the stunning and killing is done in a second.

Speaking of tasteless slaughter and the Chinese, I've found probably the most tonedeaf ad in human history:

>that fucking narration and soundtrack

We Hungarians are not the most kind people of this planet, but pointless pain is just pointless. If the pig dies without a big struggle, it means less of a mess. Only coloureds are silly enough to make an animal suffer just for religion or superstition, without any scientifically provable gain.

I do know that electric stunning or bullet would be more humane. But peasants are poor and can't have their own zappers, and guns are illegal so that's a no go, even though it would be a good solution.

So the 2nd Amendment is not only the American's best freedom friend, but gives a more humane end to their food as well.

You can't be a superpower without a blue water fleet. China has zero, the US has eight.

I posted this in a previous Chinese animal abuse thread about why their cruelty is not only barbaric, it's counterproductive too.

-

Essentially the glycogen in the muscle serves as the energy source and upon the death of the animal becomes lactic acid. The acid serves to resist bacteria and therefore preserves the meat better, and also keeps the meat tender and full of flavor.

When an animal is distressed and anxious before slaughter it uses up the glycogen and causes much less lactic acid to be produced, to the point the meat is often considered unusable because of the poor flavor and very short shelf life. If you ever see a cut of meat that looks pale, that's why. To avoid this typically animals are allowed to rest and relax for at least an hour prior to slaughter. to ensure satisfactory glycogen levels.

Even if you don't respect animals as living creatures like us, brutalizing it is not only cruel but pointless.

-

IMO there's nothing wrong with killing animals for food, but the Chinese have a bizarre collective glee in subjugating and abusing lesser creatures that leaves me deeply uncomfortable.

Not just that, but your meat animals have more tender meat if they live in relatively good or at least sedate conditions. That's why wild meat is so gamey, they have to work a lot for it and run and don't be well fed for the winter and all that.
