Near DAYTON, Ohio – In what’s being called confusing and totally unexpected, about a dozen protestors showed up this morning at Hamvention.

People Advancing The Humane Treatment of Animals (PATHTA) protested in front of the Hamvention venue, advocating against alleged unsafe hog farming, growing and butchering practices.

“We will make these mad men stop!” exclaimed group leader Paula Smith-Taylor of Westchester, Vermont. “The unstoppable slaughter of hogs for food and profit must end!”

A group of ham radio operators headed to the “Peanut Whistle Transmitters” exhibit took a moment to visit with Smith-Taylor.

“She seemed genuinely surprised at what ‘ham radio’ actually meant,” says octogenarian Vince Bascoe of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

“After I explained it to her, she told the group to get back into her VW microbus for their next assignment.”

“We’re headed to Arkansas!” Smith-Taylor exclaimed as the van left the hamfest parking lot.

“We hear there’s fighting hogs there! We must stop the insanity!”

Editor’s Note:  The Ohio Pork Producers are offering a fantastic bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich for $7.99 with drink. They are located at booth #8455. The funds raised go to assist with the FCC’s “one kilohertz at a time” project.

  • Just eat more chiken

  • GUESS I BETTER HIDE MY LICENSE PLATE FROM THOSE DUMBASSES, LOL

  • I am dumbfounded as the pretty lady at Xenia selling soap on a rope shaped like a D104 mic, spray on deodorant, DX soap and underarm fresheners was complaining how with 31,002 attendees that she only made 18 sales to kids and a few wives that chose to get the D104 mic soap for their Dad’s father day. She sold out of the Q-tip travel packs and medicinal hemorrhoid sponges. I was very thankful for the food vendors offering Gluten free baked goods, organic and vegan offerings and medicinal cannabis in vape cartridges. I big shout out to the guy with the pimped out scooter with the Alinco 220 Mhz radio and DMR mobile hotspot who gave me a lift to the outdoor flea area.

  • That is a very funny story and the protestors should have done their homework before showing up at that hamlets. I laugh a while after I read the news feed on it.

  • I say we send them south to Florida, “Stop the butchering of Alligators, to make Gatorade.” hihi

  • This person thinks he is funny posting FAKE NEWS here, but this is what it is — FAKE NEWS with a stolen, copyrighted photograph that first appeared on the Internet around 2012.
