10. URGENT: Pigs Violently Abused at Events Need Your Voice!
    

    Dear Sir,
    Social, gentle, intelligent, and loyal, pigs are highly sensitive animals who enjoy communicating with each other, making nests, and relaxing in the sun.
    However I have learned that Man Games, an obstacle course competition held across the United States, is hosting "pig wrestling" challenges.
    These are cruel events during which young, docile animals are frantically chased, grabbed at, and tackled, then roughly crammed into a barrel drum—all while trapped in a pen lined with screaming crowds.
    Being trucked to and fro and subjected to the inherent noise, violence, and chaos of these events is obviously a terrifying and hazardous ordeal for the pigs, who often sustain severe injuries, such as broken limbs and backs.
    I urge you to cancel the pig wrestling during the next event which is scheduled for September 6 and 7 in Heber, Utah.  The Please urge Man Games to forgo "pig wrestling" events in the future—then forward this alert widely!
    Regards,
