Last week it was posted on a thread here that Ohio County, Indiana was putting on an event called "Snapperfest." http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread...turbing-update-8-21-w-good-news#axzz1W6TCPNBf Some of you posted your outrage over the video and the horror that these turtles are subjected to by humans. Please join us in calling or emailing the governor of Indiana to tell him to end this. We are not waiting until next year to get this event stopped. Anheuser-Busch had a banner at the event, but said that it was a retailer that put it there and that they would have nothing to do with an event such as this one. Here is the Snapperfest Facebook if you'd like to leave a comment or join with us. Even if you can't call or send an email tomorrow please send one asap.

Here is what Budweiser posted about the event.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We were not aware of this event before seeing your wall post and looked into the matter to learn more. Neither Anheuser-Busch nor our local independent wholesaler is a sponsor of Snapperfest. The Budweiser banner was brought to the event by a local retailer, without our knowledge. Anheuser-Busch does not support the activities at the event. For more than a century, we have prided ourselves on our reputation for treating animals with respect – from animal protection to animal rescue and rehabilitation to wildlife habitat preservation.
