"Animal-rights activists scored a major victory when they shut down the annual greased-pig contest at Farm City Day in Hendersonville, N.C. After 47 consecutive years of children chasing two greased pigs, Carolina Animal Action filed a lawsuit, and Henderson County Parks and Recreation Director Rick Harris said, "Oh, the hell with it." The pigs will now be taken to a safe haven and properly fed and cared for until they can be butchered for a barbecue."
