Before the main event in the special arena, visitors are treated to bears juggling flaming poles, the video supplied to the Mercury News shows. Announcements on a loudspeaker and blaring rock music greet the visitors as they file into the arena, where the first show features young women in bathing suits dancing with boa constrictors curled around their bodies. Then the young pig is let in. Initially by itself on the concrete floor, the pig is then confronted by a tiger released from caging underneath the seating. The frightened pig first tries to climb the wire netting on the side then turns to face the tiger.
Nothing happens until a second tiger is let into the arena space.
With the pig squealing non-stop, one tiger grabs the animal's rear body, while the second tiger grips the pig's neck. The pig is still alive, so several men enter the space with metal poles, causing one of the tigers to run with the pig in its mouth to the caging underneath the seating. Time for the calf. Two tigers are let in simultaneously. The calf desperately tries to run but is attacked front and rear.
