But no matter the origins of the video, a pig did try to eat the camera filming it. To be fair, the pig did not succeed at eating the camera. But it definitely tried. This pig has seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It knows what it’s supposed to do when a foreign object gets thrown into its sty. EAT IT.
