Messed. Up.
This weekend is time, yet again, for Indiana’s annual “Snapperfest.” The fest that includes one torturous sport.
This is how PETA described the event:
“The frightened animals are grabbed by their tails and repeatedly slammed to the ground. Their heads are yanked from their shells, and they are then swung around until ‘contestants’ are able to wrap their fists around the animals’ necks.”
WTF?? That sounds cruel. Srsyly, The only people that could enjoy that “sport” are the people that enjoy hurting an animals.
One festival participant tried to defend the event by saying:
“We do not kill the turtles. They are caught by hand. You can’t pull the head off a turtle.”
Wow, really? Is it possible to pull the head off a person? Let’s try on that guy.
Everyone should do their part to discourage this kind of abuse. HERE are some suggestions on ways you can help.
