Strong letters are needed to the Dutchess County fair
(Is anyone in the Dutchess County area who could meet with fair officials
about the inclusion of pig races at their fair? It's being held Aug. 24,
2004 - 29 on route 9 in Rhinebeck.
Though the fair also has 'livestock' shows, horse
shows, petting zoos and the usual crap...pig races? This is where
terrified little animals are shipped in crowded conditions, released,
chased and by savages on their way to the slaughterhouse - what
a good time!
If you want to see how far we haven't come, visit

Though it's all disgusting, pig races are easily rank
as the cruelest event at this 'fair'. Their ad says "There's been nothing
like it since the 19th century." Actually, there's plenty of left-over
cruelty. Please contact the 'fair' organizers and and tell them to come
into this century (and learn some compassion on the way):
