Reports say James Anthony Horn, 22, was arrested after witnesses said he struck pig on the head and buttocks and pulled the six-month-old pig's ears and tail.

A 22-year-old Livermore man was arrested Tuesday at the Alameda County Fair for allegedly slapping a show pig and pulling its ears and tail, according to a San Jose Mercury News report.

Further details from the article by Bay Area News Group Reporter Robert Jordan:

James Anthony Horn, 22, was arrested at 7:50 p.m. in the barn area by an Alameda County Sheriff's deputy after witnesses said Horn hit it with his hand on the head and buttocks and pulled the six-month-old pig's ears and tail, according to court records.

Horn appeared in Pleasanton court Friday and was released by a judge, but was ordered to stay away from the fair, to not drink alcohol and to attend Alcoholic Anonymous meetings twice a week, according to the report.

Rafael and his crew do great work, and not just lawn service. He replaced our sprinkler system andRead More sodded two new lawns when we moved into our house. He and his crew have trimmed trees, planted flowers, and even built a new fence and gate. All at a fair price. I can't recommend his services enough.

Thank you D! We couldn't be happier to have a program like this in our community. We couldn't agreeRead More with you more that giving back is the whole purpose of the program; to make our community a stronger more musical one for our youth!

Kevin and Chris are good guys. They genuinely want to give back and care about introducing as manyRead More kids (young and old) as possible to the incredibly rewarding world of music. I am fortunate enough to have had somebody similar to these guys motivate me to get involved in music when I was a kid. 31 years later, I am still beatin’ on my drums every day. Great job Kev and Chris. Keep it up!
