MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (WOWO): There are at least two petitions on Charge.org calling out Indiana fairs for hosting hog wrestling events. 

So far, those petitions have gained more than 35,000 signatures combined. 

Hog wrestling is a county fair tradition for some. However, the increasingly controversial event is happening less and less at fairs around the country. 

In Indiana, several counties have removed it from their summer fairs – in part because of those online petitions. 

Animal advocates think hog wrestling is abusive and needs to stop. Supporters say it's good, safe fun. 

Morgan County Fair leaders said they discussed canceling the event like Delaware County's Fair Board did, but decided not to give in to outside pressure.
