Participants at an agricultural fair in Tartu used squeals and grunts to draw attention to Estonia's struggling pig farming industry during a pig imitation contest.
According to France 24, the unusual competition was designed to spotlight the difficulties currently facing the country's swine production sector.
Local participant Andrus Maileht secured the top prize for his performance. The outlet reported that Maileht's imitation was so convincing it left the judges feeling as though they were back on a farm.
