Tax-payers are funding pig-racing
10:22am Monday 18th June 2007 in Opinion By Telegraph letters
YOUR newspaper has highlighted the pig-racing at the Lancashire and Ribble Valley Garden and Countryside Festival.
Many people in Lancashire find that this is totally unacceptable as pigs are very sensitive and intelligent creatures who like to be quiet.
What many residents do not appreciate is that money which we pay through our local taxes to Lancashire County Council being used to pay for this event. Lancashire County Council give funding to the Lancashire Tourist Board who sponsored this event.
