A popular County Fair attraction throughout North America is Pig Wrestling. Bearing a striking resemblance to what goes on in Congress every time the Budget Committee meets, a team of four chase a pig around a mud pit, eventually capturing and stuffing it into a barrel. As you can imagine, the pig doesn’t like it very much. But considering his only other option in life is to accompany a slice of toast and a couple eggs over easy on a breakfast plate, it’s really not that bad a way to make a living. But Pigs (like Congress) aren’t always smart enough to weigh options, so they protest all the way to the barrel.
But their cries are not in vain. Animal Rights activists are targeting these events this summer, to defend these animals from such degradation. (Of course if they’re successful, it will only hasten the trip to the breakfast plate, but why attempt to bring reason into this.) Meanwhile, in Spanish Fork Utah, a pig wrestler finally got fed up with the squeals (from the protesters). He actually caught one, and tossed him over the fence into the mud. Fortunately for us, it was all caught in videotape.
Personally, based on the hits this video is receiving, I think the Animal Rights Protester Toss could be an extremely popular County Fair attraction in future years. And there should be no lack of volunteers, because if it replaces the Pig Wrestling, the protesters would actually be making a valuable contribution to pigs and breakfasts everywhere.
Perhaps a petition drive is in order.
