Ask Pike Place Market to Stop Pig Races on March 1

February 25, 2019
By Melissa

The Pike Place Market Foundation is hosting a misnamed “Pigs Day Out” on March 1 to “celebrate” the year of the pig. Included in the event is pig racing. They will be using pigs from “All Alaska Racing Pigs.” While they claim the pigs receive VIP treatment, these pigs are also sent off to “backyard farms,” where they will likely end up in the slaughterhouse. And “climate controlled living environments” and racing on wood shavings, certainly don’t make up for the stress of being forced to race in front of a screaming crowd.

Please contact the Pike Place Market Foundation and POLITELY let them know how you feel about pigs being treated as entertainment:
christi.beckley@pikeplacemarket.org
or use their contact page:
