Frio River Fest Wild Hog Sacking

This footage was taken at the wild hog sacking event at the Frio River Fest (previously called the Rio Frio Fest) held at Jimmy Joe's and Neal's Lodges in Concan, TX.

Neal’s Lodges and Joe Jimmy’s will host the 2023 annual wild hog sacking competition on March 18th at 1 PM as part of the Frio River Fest in Concan, TX. Frio River Fest is a music festival and more. Joe Jimmy’s is part of Neal’s Lodges, the place where the whole festival takes place. Very young (children) pigs are trapped and forced into a tiny arena repeatedly for this event, an arena so small that they have virtually no chance of not getting caught by their abusers.

Teams of two willing humans (children and adults) enter the arena and then two pigs are forced into the arena. When the participants get the signal from the flagger they attempt to capture the two pigs by any ways they can (no abusive and painful behavior is prohibited).

The goal is to get both pigs into just one burlap feed sack and drop the sack in a circle in the center of the arena in the fastest time possible (a minute or under). At the end there is a free-for-all where all the pigs are forced into the ring together and a bunch of participants aim to capture them simultaneously and dump all of them on top of each other into one burlap feed sack. Photo and video evidence clearly shows the people who run this event and participate in it don’t have any regard whatsoever for the pigs.
