PIG: Put fault where it lies
It deeply saddens me that someone did not have enough sense to secure a pig in the back of their vehicle before transporting it to the fair. So the pig falls from their vehicle and has to be butchered because it wa…
PRESS: Have a heart for family
The article on the Deshazer family appeared to be cruel to this poor family at a time they need all the support they can get. (Press Aug. 30)
