Allegations of animal abuse follow school's 'pig rodeo'

GREENWOOD S.C.—After postings on Facebook and complaints from some parents and students, a school superintendent has responded to accusations of animal cruelty during a "pig rodeo" at a pep rally.
The pig rodeo was held at a pep rally for Ninety Six High and Edgewood Middle schools Thursday afternoon. Several parents complained that their children were traumatized by the way the pig was treated.

The superintendent of the school was in charge of this. They said no bones were broken and they would not do it again. Glad the students were upset about it.
