Snapperfest is held at Campshore Campgrounds at 8548 State Road 56, Aurora, IN. Snapper Turtles are cold blooded reptiles that have very strong jaws that can pinch and sever human fingers. They are also capable of being very flexible with its head. This makes handling them very dangerous due to it's incredible reach with it's beak-like jaws. Like all turtles, the shell of a Snapping turtle is living tissue. As such it can feel pain. According to Frank Indiviglio of That Reptile Blog, lifting a turtle by it's tail "will cause severe injuries to the spine and internal organs." blogs.thatpetplace.com According to www.matts-turtles.org moving the turtle too quickly or roughly can cause the intestine to pinch which is not only painful, can can be deadly. Like all reptiles, turtles are cold blooded animals and thus heal much slower than mammals. According to Tim Sizemore, the event organizer. The turtles are either eaten at the event or returned to the wild. lawrenceburg.fox19.com Because many of them sustain pain and trauma at Snapperfest it is suggested by many animal rights activists that many of the turtles die a painful slow death. Looking into Indiana law, we find: See Fox19's shameful display of journalism as they whitewash the animal abuse and portray the event as family friendly fun. They intentionally censor out the scenes of animal torture to appease the owners of Campshore Campground and the coordinators of Snapperfest. Information Maintained by the Office of Code <b>...</b>

I told them I had concerns about their sponsorship of the event. I was told that they had received several calls about this already and that they had no knowledge of the event, nor did their local distributor. They had claimed that the banner using their logo and name was made without their consent. After I pressed the issue further, I was told someone would get back to me in a few days. I missed their call while I was out doing laundry but when I got home I called them back and gave them the reference number they provided for me. Brandon was the one who called me and left a message, but when I called back he was not available so Reise took my call. Despite being promised someone who could speak for the company, I was basically talking to a customer service rep who was reading off a prepared script. This is not an issue of someone grabbing a Budweiser banner and hanging it by the annual Snapperfest event. Rather this was a custom made banner made by professionals. No respectable print shop would knowingly make a banner or sign using a corporate logo without authorization. A professional custom sign shop made this banner. Someone ordered it and paid for it. Budweiser should be more concerned how it's name and logo is used. When you sponsor an event, you are endorsing the event. Please contact Budweiser and ask them to issue a press release <b>...</b>
