WHAT FEST?

    Guess what today was everybody!! Indiana's 13th Annual Snapperfest! What is Snapperfest, you ask? It is where future if not already psychopaths and killers get to pluck a wild caught snapping turtle out of a washtub, grab them by his or her tail, slam them into the ground.. sometimes hold them in place by the bottom of their (most probably leather {skin}) shoe, pull him or her out of the shell (aka the body).. then when the player is able to wrap their fist around the neck they swing the animal around in the air while the crowd goes wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild!!!!!!
    How nice of the trappers to go out and ""humanely"" TRAP {since when is the word trap a humane word?) the animals.. throw them in a washtub.. feed them real well for a couple of days for their minutes of glory and then assuming they live are thrown out somewhere. And, for the few idiots out there that think they aren't hurt, think again. Most suffer fatal injuries or die from stress, and since they are cold-blooded, they languish and suffer excruciating pain for a long time, until often death relieves them of their pain.
    I called the "leader" of this today and asked how would they like it if Godzilla came and "trapped their" ignorant asses, threw them in a room with just enough room to lay down.. but don't worry, Godzilla would feed you really well.. then when the time came, Godzilla would run around with you.. slap you down.. pull your head out enough to fist your neck.. swing you around, and assuming you live, throw you out somewhere in unfamiliar territory?
    Ugh, this "violence" is done while children watch these adults torture and frequently kill innocent animals as though this was a normal pastime. And, we wonder why the world is turning out the way it is with no compassion, hatred, and anger. Who do we blame - the government for encouraging this behavior? The people who do it? The Camp Shore Grounds, whose website shows such a wonderful family friendly place to relax and enjoy wildlife and beauty?
