Ohio County, Indiana, is only showing itself of its delight in barbarity with its extraordinarily cruel event called “Snapperfest”— next scheduled for this Saturday, August 20! Every year at the Campshore Campground, wild-caught snapping turtles endure terrible violence at the hands of participants. 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.
I feel it seriously disturbing how your County derives its entertainment. News of this is spreading across the nation-as a shameful spectacle.
Exposing society, especially children and young people, to animal cruelty leads to antisocial and deviant behavior.
I do NOT want there to ever be another Snapperfest. This needs to be stopped and BANNED. People need to stand up against this now, Can you imagine what that turtle is going through, the FEAR, the PAIN and it has done nothing to deserve it. All in the name of entertainment all done by Sick, Uneducated Cowards. Take a stand with me and sign, share and help get the word out. I thank you all. With respect always...
