Loving the pastor here! "'Would you like your dog out there participating in this? Would you like to have your cat out there participating in this? And if the answer is, of course, no then we shouldn't be doing this to pigs either,' said Higdon....Higdon says they're prepared to take the issue all the way to the state legislature." Good for him!

I gotta be honest, what is so cruel about this pig wrestling that makes it the worst thing since sliced bacon? I'd bet my dog would love to be chased by me in a mud pit like that.

Edit: Is this the best illustration of its cruelty?
