One little pig wasn't ready to go to market, as a new video clearly demonstrates.

The hoofed animal was filmed en route to a slaughterhouse in South America, by a motorist traveling behind its crammed delivery truck.

First its head pops up, then it manages to prize its body to the surface. Finally, it leaps overboard at high-speed and rolls to the ground.

It's never too late to give up the bad habit of eating the flesh of any sorts of animal. Try to rear and butcher your own animals. Go visit a slaughterhouse, you might be enlightened.
