I think the ‘grease pig run’ is a cruel form of ‘entertainment’. These types of events are illegal in some states due to the fact that the pigs are subjected to emotional stress, broken bones, torn muscles and ligaments, etc. and sometimes death. The Bridge should find another way to celebrate Independence Day…other than abusing animals. This church needs to recognize the issue of animal welfare as one deeply connected to our role as stewards of Creation and if we are going to truly be a compassionate society, then we need to extend compassion to ALL of creation!
