Georgia High School Pledges to End Kiss-a-Pig Contests
"When PETA received complaints about a "Kiss-a-Pig" contest at Flowery Branch High School's pep rally, we immediately contacted the principal and voiced concerns about how the pig was roughly handled. We informed him that these cruel events do not teach children compassion and kindness--they teach that animals are merely objects for our amusement. He promptly replied that he will not allow this type of event to happen at the school in the future."Good thing Peta wasn't around as much when I was in High School or I would have never gotten any kisses. I didn't even mind being an object for their amusement.
You can see the original article Here. there is no link to show how sad I (and probably the pig) am that this is now no longer an event.

you mean, you were the pig?
Yes,Callie. I was the Pig.
It's so sad what our world is coming to...
hey.. i found your blog from jacob's! Luke is so so cute!!
Never have I been more proud of my home state for hosting such a contest, however, that principal is weak. He should have asked PETA if they've ever read Charlotte's Web. It proves that pigs like affection. As for you, Ryan, it's a good thing Annalyn likes pork!
