An excellent photo of one of Fryeburg Fair's pig scrambles appeared on the front page of Sun Journal recently. I realize that the majority of people see pig scrambles as harmless fun, that they enjoy watching excited children chasing terrified baby pigs around an enclosure until the piglets are captured and stuffed in large sacks.
I believe people should give some thought to that part of the entertainment at local fairs while next year's fair season is in the planning stages. Do people really want to teach another generation that tormenting baby pigs for entertainment is OK?
