Kindness to animals wins more affection
I was so happy to hear that Spring Meadow Farms is halting its pig wrestling contests ("Farmer cancels pig-wrestling contests," Oct. 7).
I was equally disappointed to hear those same pigs, saved from the stress of pig wrestling, will now be roasted for dinner.
I would like to suggest to Stan Dabkowski that the benefits of the good publicity from allowing those pigs to live out their lives at a sanctuary would do more to enhance his farm's reputation than throwing a pig roast.
I encourage him to do this kind gesture, and I know the farm would get lots of good publicity for its kindness.
Just look at the good publicity the president gets when he pardons a turkey on Thanksgiving.
