Imagine this: someone tells you they’ve got a new idea for a community event, something that can bring people together to enjoy entertainment, food, and overall good times. Sounds awesome, right? But then they tell you there’s a small caveat: the entertainment will involve tormenting, torturing, injuring, and maybe even killing animals. Suddenly, this new idea to boost the local community and economy seems downright evil. There’s no way anyone would let that happen!

Well, it’s already happening…in the form of rodeos. But because these bloody events started over a century ago, people are letting their cruelty hide behind the mask of “tradition.”

This year, at one particularly gruesome rodeo in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, four animals were injured to the point of death.

Please sign this petition to shut down the Calgary Stampede and protect rodeo animals today!
