You can't tell me that some medieval jerks never launched a pig with a catapult back in the day.

I'm pretty sure pigs will have taken hot-air balloon flights before this, too.

We stayed in Sheerness (where this flight took place), and when my girlfriend saw this she immediately asked “Did pigs fly before women did?”. And the answer turned out to be no, women beat pigs by two weeks: “Sarah Van Deman … was the woman who flew with Wilbur Wright on October 27, 1909” source
