During a conference in Uganda, two protesters let loose two piglets, which was colored yellow and attached the slogans alleging members of the parliament are corrupt. They faced charges of criminal trespass,     conspiracy to sneak piglets into parliament and interrupting parliament work. Several police on duty at the time also faced charges of neglect of duty. The security forces are on alert over fears of terrorist attacks, because it was “standard practice” to test for terrorism-related material as ” there could have been another motive other than protest.”

Apparently, this case is rare and funny, but I think it’s more complicated. First, this case must have appeared on many newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet news because it had a strong impression. So the protesters succeeded in attracting many people’s attention and  making their message spread around the world. Second, as the spokesman said, this would be the preparation for the next action, terrorism. When I consider the other possibility, such as bombs on piglets’ back, it’s really terrible. Uganda’s social system is not functioning properly, and parliament does’t satisfy people, police are neglecting, I feel it’s natural to occur such a protest, but the way they resorted is never good.
