What kind of town would treat pigs this way? This is just unnecessary. Besides being man’s best friend (they are shown to be able to detect truffles much more efficiently than dogs), pigs posses the ability to love and nurture not only their young but human young as well. I hope some day you people can look back at this and say to yourself “that was some pig”.

This man should not have any rights. He sure should not get out of jail. I hope this sentence opens other judges eyes to the need for sever punishment for animal cruelty.I think it should be automatic jail time on first offense.Put him in the cell with about 20 rabid dogs and listen to him cry like those puppies had to.

Wow, the hillbillies must be really bored to be tackling pigs. I guess there’s no real forms of exercise out there.
While I think it’s terrible for the animals, I really don’t think these people give a crap what anyone says and they are going to do it anyway.

Listen, Jax, we know you are Mya, Rosie, Tricia, and Lorrell. We know you are at home versus on your cell phone versus at school during class. I’ve maintained my patience and will allow you to continue your immature tirades but with one clause: nothing you say, no hate you spew, no swearing you engage in, and certainly no threats will change our minds. We’re animal rights activists, we act on behalf of animals, not on behalf of those who abuse them. So, please, continue your childish name-grabbing and email-changing rants. We know who you are regardless of any you decide to use.

Whomever started this ridiculous alert/petition I need to ask you one question….Have you ever attended our German Valley Days EVER? I have for 30+ years and I have NEVER seen a pig injured in any way. Get off your animal rights kick and leave our town alone. Are you also going to come in and petition our “Pork Chop” dinner fundraiser for the VOLUNTEER Firemen too. Just try. We are a close and strong community very supportive of local farming and farmers. If you do not like it then please do us a favor and do not come. The ages for these little kids catching pigs are little ones around 3yrs old and no bigger than 8. What next? Will you be petitioning every fairgrounds for no more chicken scratches, pig scrambles, calf scrambles? Why not hit the rodeos too while your at it? In fact, You will be quite busy trying to petition “SO MUCH” animal cruelty at horse races and dog shows. Go volunteer your time at a local humane society and peddle your papers somewhere else!

LOL all the compliments are making me blush!!! Thanks you ladies, i wish i could take the credit for why i do all i do but its really not because im a great person lol its because if i didnt act write letters send emails sign petitions cross post and protest for the animals i would probably die of guilt! Its really self preservation combined with a great respect love and adoration of all animals!! Thanks you for the compliments though i appreciate them all! Besides i do nothing more than you two ladies do! I think we are all pretty great!

Comment on Urge Maryland County to stop deer hunt by Jim Horvath

Jim Horvath — Tue, 21 May 2013 19:34:53 +0000

How can we get along when you devour my precious plants that have been around longer than you have? How can we get along when you help spread Lyme Disease with your ticks? How can we get along when you destroy the eco-systems? How can we get along when you pay our windshield a crude and often tragic visit?

Alternate deer control methods DO NOT WORK! They are very expensive and bow hunting is safer than a firearm and cost nothing. The meat is donated to needy families.

Why is Montgomery County different than Fairfax or other urban regions???

Get a life!! The deer are “OUT-OF-BOUNDS” !

People who use animals for entertainment or fun usually fail to understand their capacity for abuse because it’s fun to the PARTICIPANTS or to the SPECTATORS, not to the animals. Indeed, it’s not FUN for the animals who are being USED in such abnormal and cruel manners. It’s interesting you cannot understand that, Mya. Put yourself in the same position, Mya, with no prior agreement, and how would you feel? Are you lacking empathy?

What is also interesting, Mya, is that you complain about the very thing you involve yourself with. If you believe we should concern ourselves with other things and that we are wasting our time, well, you are the hypocrite for doing the exact same thing. All the time you could have used helping those people in OK, you instead spent on this site, on the very issue you criticize us for. That’s hypocritical, Mya; I am sorry you don’t understand that. I am also sorry your lack of empathy prevents you from understanding that animals, such as people, are sentient creatures, capable of fear, pain, love, and suffering and that your fundamental self is immune to such a humane and normal stance. In time you will hopefully come to understand such, if you are not too busy having fun that is.

And next time, you can skip using the Contact Us form, unless you just wanted a more anonymous platform for yelling and spewing hate.

seriously, mya? ask the pigs how “harmless” this barbarism is. how do you know no pigs have been harmed? are you the official overseer of pig injuries? please stop with your lofty “helping people in tornadoes” comment, or can’t you multi-task? I care about stopping ANIMAL abuse. btw, the words are spelled “noble” and “buried”.

I think the pigs are safer and treated better than some of the children in this country. The pigs probably even live a much better life than most people in other countries. Seriously, most of the kids are too afraid to even touch them. I’m not sure what horrific pig scramble videos you all have been watching, but the German Valley event is safer than you will ever know. The most horrific thing I have witnessed is a pig pooping and a kid running through it. ( actually pretty hysterical).

I don’t mean to “pork” fun at you all, but as a Geman Valley resident, I think you are making a big deal out of something very harmless. There have never been any pigs harmed in this event, let alone “severe injuries such as broken limbs and backs.” With all due respect, there are so many other things to spend time worrying about right now, like helping all the people and animals injured in the tornadoes that have ravaged Moore. Seriously, find something else to do with your time that can really make a difference and don’t worry about a harmless small town event that you know nothing about. They are still looking for chilren in Moore that were burried alive, so if you want to do something nobel, start there.

once upon a planet so blue,
the sun shone brightly,
her job to do.
then darkness fell,
the sun did what she can,
but she was helpless against
the cruelties of man.
so help her find her shining rays,
and show the world
a better way.

huntspeak
have you ever listened to the words
you hunters speak,
so called arguments, illogical and weak.
trying to rationalize and defend,
something that you know in your heart
has got to end!

I completely agree. A truly “insane” person is rare, and one that harms living beings even rarer. Most serial killers start their killing careers killing animals. This bastard would have evolved into one. I have zero compassion for this monster. He should burn in hell.

I agree with Stacey, what a poor excuse ‘that he can’t help being what he is’ he is not probably insane, just gets his kicks from torturing innocent animals that can not fight back, why does he not pick a ‘Tiger’ or a’ wrestler’. Blaming the whole world for the way he has grown up and that the world owe him a living, well its down to you in the end. I do not feel sorry for monsters like that at all, what about in Asia countries the dog meat traders that torture, boil and skin them alive, to eat dogs, CAN YOU SAY THAT THEY CAN’T HELP BEING LIKE THAT !!! and that they suffered when they were young.
