prac session - PIGS

last thursday's animal and society prac was dealing with pigs!

learnt how to tie them, tip them, and estimate their weight.

pigs are actually quite cute, but filthy!!! they will eat everything that fall on the floor, including their own poo. for example, in the pig's pen, one of the pic poo on my classmates shoe, and in a split second, all the other pigs rush by and lick all the shit, and the shoe is clean again =.=""

another thing about pigs is they squeeeeek reallly loud. now i understand why they have the chinese term 杀猪般吵 (as noisy as killing a pig), coz when u r not even going to kill them, they can already shout till your ears "boing!"!! their squeeking are satruday night metro club music equavalant ok? (ps. metro = one of the loud clubs in perth)

one more important thing..... THEY BITE!!
i was bending down and trying to tie one of the pig, then suddenly another pig came from behind and "AAAAAAMM", took a bite on my hip!! not a light bite, i've got bruise and biting marks on my hip after that!! i hope i dun get mad pig disease!

the hardest thing to do during the prac is to estimate the pigs weight, with +/- 10% difference. u can't carry them, cant lift them. u can only estimate by observing their size. however this is particularly important, coz if ur guessing is 10% more or less then the actualy weight, then u shall DEFINATELY fail the exam.....

that prac was not as bad as i expected, although lots of people have been complaining that pig's prac are the worse! so far, i still think cow's prac are the worse...... at least pigs dun kick shit onto my face :P
