INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
HORTONVILLE, Wis. – St. Patrick’s Parish in Hortonville, Wisconsin plans
to host an event this weekend in which pigs are punched in the face, kicked,
body-slammed, jumped on, yelled at and thrown into a bucket.
This illegal animal fighting event is in violation of Wisconsin Chapter 951,
titled “Crimes Against Animals”, which outlaws cockfighting, dogfighting,
and any other similar fighting between animals or animals and humans.
In addition, being a spectator of such an event is also in violation of
Chapter 951. Those prosecuted could face felony animal fighting charges.
Wrestling, as a sport, is contested by two human opponents, evenly matched,
each of whom enters into the match voluntarily with mutually agreed-upon
rules and a common goal. Not so in “matches” like pig wrestling, where
frightened animals are unwilling participants exploited by teams of humans
for entertainment. Pigs are exceptionally intelligent and capable of feeling
complex emotion. They are affectionate and friendly when kept as pets, and
do not deserve the stress, fear, and possibility of injury that pig
wrestling subjects them to.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
