    Force feeding animals alcohol is inhumane FIRST illegal second.
    Do you know what it’s called when you try to spike someones drink without telling them?
    And then in that inebriated state you blare loud sounds behind them??
    All this at who’s behest??? Who’s pleasure??? GODS?!!???
    Sad. I hope others take the initiative to inform the people/authorities necessary as well.

    Is this the tradition, where animals are given alcohol. This should be stopped.
