Pigs are highly sensitive animals who, just like our animal companions, are capable of experiencing great suffering and deserve respectful treatment. However, next July, the Teton County Fair in Jackson, Wyoming, apparently plans to again host “pig wrestling” during which young pigs will be frantically chased, grabbed at, tackled, and then slammed into overturned barrels—all amidst screaming crowds. Pigs terrorized during these sadistic events do not just suffer psychologically, but are at risk of sustaining injuries as well as experiencing stress-induced heart failure. Your voice is needed!
Please join PETA in urging the Teton County Fair Board of Commissioners to cancel all “pig wrestling” then forward this alert to everyone you know.
