China: Piglets Freeze on Command as Owner Plays Red Light Green Light

A group of piglets inside a pen in Sichuan province instantly froze when their owner shouted a phrase from the children's game "Red Light, Green Light" on May 5. When the owner entered the pigpen, the piglets began running around in different directions. The owner then shouted, “One, two, three, red light! Whoever moves is a pig!” In an instant, all the piglets stopped moving, as if the video had suddenly frozen. The scene looked like the animals were actually playing the children’s game with their owner.
