Just a comment on Paul Rolly's column on the pig "wrestling," or whatever you want to call it, and jamming it into a barrel.

I also watched the news clip. Repulsive. Pigs are well known to be very intelligent and sensitive animals. Isn't it enough that we raise them to slaughter to and consume them?

What passes for fun in Utah County in this practice almost makes me believe that the morons that practice this so-called sport have a lesser IQ than the poor animals they are tormenting. Well put, Rolly. Come into the 21st century and knock it off!
