Cruelty sold under the guise of tradition and "entertainment" is still cruelty. A pig wrestling event is an event that is no less than torturous to the pigs involved. Typically, during a pig scramble a group of frantic people chase after pigs to grab them and put them in a barrel before a timer runs out. The pigs are often slathered with a slippery substance to make them more difficult to catch. In the process, people grab at, yank on and leap upon piglets, often causing extreme physical pain, broken limbs, and suffocation in addition to the obvious emotional stress put upon them. Any reputable animal welfare group, veterinarian and indeed, any person with a reasonable amount of empathy would tell you that these events cause fear, stress, and undue pain to these docile creatures.
