To the editor:

It’s fascinating that in 2022, state fairs like the Fryeburg Fair are still holding pig scrambles.

It's a sickening profound reality that we rail against animal violence and consider those who conduct it a threat to society, yet most of these fairs promote wrenching animal violence with impunity!

We know the sentience of pigs, our cousins and neighbors who are highly intelligent and aware. What is done to them in the name of tradition, entertainment, farming, and research, is obscene.

How lucky humans are to be able to rely on such moral duplicity when it suits our traditions and habits. Only a very wounded society allows children to become so desensitized to the suffering of others. Pigs are babies. Why torture babies? And to them, it IS torture. To them, we are all Jeffrey Dahmer.
