Turns out this is a rodeo event called Swine/Hog/Pig "Showmanship." The competitors are making eye contact with a judge, waiting for signals and to know when they're paying attention to their animal so they're can rotate them. They're tapping the pigs both to steer them (always keeping the pigs between themselves and the judge), and to keep the pigs head pointed upwards. They're trying to show their control over the animal as well as give the judge views of all sides of them, so different aspects can be assessed.
I had to click the link on your post to watch the video. That video was oddly funny, don't wanna know more about the subject, but good to know there's places in this world that still make me uncomfortable xD

What the fuck is going on here?
I had the same reaction and had to dig deeper.
