Logan,

I'm positive that you would speak up if you had known of these
events. From the article,

" Hog-dog rodeos are common in parts of the South and Midwest, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas, despite the fact that they are, according to state laws, illegal-event organizers generally prohibit cameras for that very reason." These are some of the states where it is
being investigated.

I don't see how a person could witness such cruety & even
allow their children to take part in it.
