Don't object to anyone showing their pigs the more the merrier but as HH says there are rules and having seen boars fight its no laughing matter, WL also has to realise that if she takes her pig to a show she will be on standstill for 20 days on her return, there are rules for a reason. Robert agree with all the things you say and if i ddi;' have 3 bulged discs in my back i'd have met you both at the Yorks. Now that i've got the right painkillers & therapy i'm missing a show as i have a pig due to farrow and it looks like its going to be a beautiful day. Showing is mean't to be fun and a pleasurable experience but i'm afraid Wl's tone really got my back up, pig people put a lot of time and effort into their show pigs and for her to belittle them and cast apertions was a step too far.
Like you says we all have our opinions and thats what makes the world go round!
Now i really must go to work!
