Unless you know pigs. I can assure you they don't actually like it. They prefer clean water but go with mud because it's usually available. Wrestling with them in anything makes them unhappy (they're prey animals and it's instinctual). The only way to get a pig to do something like that and MAYBE be OK with it is food. I usually fill a kiddie pool with fresh water and Cheerios, to bathe them. The trick it to bathe them faster than they can gobble the Cheerios.

And today you learned something. You're welcome. Hopefully that was a good momentary distraction and you didn't have to thing about all the idiots who think covid isn't really all that bad for a couple seconds. :)

Yeah, like with mice loving cheese. They will even eat cardboard and cables, but prefer grain and bread.
