Rodeo events are based on intentionally violent acts toward animals. Rodeos are inherently cruel to animals. Sharp sticks, tail-twisting, spurs, electric prods, and bucking straps are all used to make bulls, horses, and baby calves appear "wild" so that the cowboys will look like heroes. Calf-roping and steer-wrestling cause the majority of injuries to animals. When cowboys lasso baby calves, the animals are often jerked off the ground, while traveling at speeds of up to 27 miles per hour, resulting in bruising and fractures. These animals are used again and again until their bruised and battered bodies are sent to slaughter. Please contact the following sponsors and ask that they drop their sponsorship of rodeos.
