Thirty years ago, I was a 28-year farm broadcaster covering the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, when a women in a pig costume shoved a whipped cream pie in the face of Iowa’s Pork Queen in a protest staged by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which at the time claimed more than 350,000 members. Today, PETA claims a membership of 6.5 million.
