PROTEST RODEO AND BULL RIDING EVENTS IN YOUR TOWN

The rodeo is a series of events that pit human participants against terrifed animals trying to get away from something that is causing them fear, pain, and discomfort. The animals used include bulls, steers, calves, and horses. These animals have been trained to perform, nothing about the rodeo is natural. Animal injuries include internal organ damage, ripped tendons, broken backs, broken legs, and ripped tendons.

You can help rodeo animals. Show up at rodeos and bull riding events in your town and protest. Reach out to us if you need t-shirts, posters, pamphlets or banners.
