Okay, since this appears to be an open thread:
Church Plans Animal Fighting Contest
August 5, 2014STEPHENSVILLE, Wis. - St. Patrick’s Parish in Hortonville, Wisconsin plan to host an event on Saturday, August 9 in which pigs are punched in the face, kicked, body-slammed, jumped on, yelled at and thrown into a bucket. […]
UPDATE 8/7/2014 - JUST UNCOVERED - After St. Patrick’s Church “pig wrestle” event is over, all animals will be killed. […]

Naturally, the church claims that the “pig rassle” is free of animal abuse. It’s just part of a yearly event that includes Mass, dinner, a parade, raffles and a live band. Good clean American fun—go to church, watch a parade, have dinner, dance, and terrorize some animals before sending them off to slaughter.
I’m sure Jesus (a.s.) would be very, very proud. //
P.S. I can’t help but wonder why participants have to sign a waiver to participate if there’s no danger or abuse involved? Guess theie insurance company doesn’t think it’s quite so harmless, huh?
