I'm sorry, what?

I refuse to post the picture - a link to it is below - but here's the caption:

LEKEITIO, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 5: A girl takes hold of a goose's neck on September 5, 2005 in Lekeitio harbour, Spain. The Basque village of Lekeitio celebrates 'The goose day' as part of The San Antolin festival, which takes place between the 1st and 8th of September. The festival reaches its peak September 5 with the "Antzar Eguna" or 'the day of the geese', one of the most popular festivals in the province, where dead geese are hung from a rope while people on boats try to grab a goose head and are then lifted up over the water until they either fall down or pull off the goose's head.
