Not that there's anything wrong with it...

Owners of an Upperco farm that had introduced Maryland to pig mud wrestling at their farm stand have decided to cancel the event after just one week of competition.
Stan Dabkowski said that while last Saturday’s event had a great turnout, he has received numerous threatening phone calls and complaints from animal rights activists who disagree with the practice.
Dabkowski said he does not believe the 90-second round between four people and a pig in a muddy pen was dangerous or cruel to the animal, but he decided the negative reaction was not worth the effort.
As a result, the remaining three nights of competition have been canceled, he said. Instead, he is offering a community pig roast on Oct. 18 where he is hoping people will support the charities that would have benefited from the profits of the continued pig mud wrestling events.
Who loves paradox? Happy feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
This is where I live ~ so go easy on it. It's probably the "reddest" county in the FRee State.

Unreal. So either wrestle a greased pig....
...or kill it, roast it and eat it!
YUP. PETA won this one big time.
Babs rule the roost,...or the sty?
There are no takers.
where i used to live they had beer drinking pigs. you'd toss them a can and they'd pick it up, puncture the can with their teeth and suck down the suds... PETA or some such put an end to it and now all they can have is non alcoholic beer.
i think the farmer probably had the idea to put a stick in PETA’s eye.
Personally, I gotta wonder about the idea of wrasslin’ pigs on a weekly basis. Maybe once a year? I dunno?

When I worked for a Grain Company back in the 1980’s, we had a company picnic where Greased Pig Wrestling was one of the main attractions — a dunk tank was the other.
Best employer I ever worked for, owned by a couple of good ol’ Saskatchewan country boys who knew how to work hard, make millions, and throw one heck of a party at year end.
By dam’n! But that was a fun time! I’d pay good money to chase a greased pig around a filthy muddy pit again — maybe not every week, but once a year would be just fine!
I was going to ask if Mikulski pulled out. Yours was funnier.
This is too funny! In other words no one can play with a pig in the mud, BUT we will be having a pig roast where scores of pigs will be eaten. LOL
