Dwarf throwing

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

Dwarf throwing or dwarf tossing is an attraction (some consider it a sport), generally found in barss, where dwarves wearing special padded clothing are thrown onto mattresses by competitors.

In France, the Conseil d'?at found that an administrative authority could legally prohibit dwarf throwing on grounds that this activity did not respect human dignity and was thus contrary to public order. A UN Commission on human rights judged that this decision was not discriminatory with respect to dwarves.
