DEAR FRIENDS,
SHARK has released a new video exposing stock contractor Kirsten Vold for stabbing horses at the National Western Stock Show, which was held in January in Denver, CO.
Watch the video HERE
*This video is going viral, gathering over 16,000 views within 24 hours!
Kirsten Vold stabbing a horse
Once again, SHARK proves how cruel rodeo is, and that they use physical abuse to force animals to perform. Please politely contact Vold and the Denver Rodeos and the sponsors of the National Western Stock Show.
There are lots of organizations that claim to help farm animals. Perhaps these groups have failed to notice that all the animals in rodeos are farm animals, because except for the Humane Farming Association (HFA), none of them are working on behalf of rodeo victims, even though rodeos are ongoing all across the country. Farm organizations bring in a lot of money - millions of dollars annually. SHARK brings in only a tiny fraction of that amount, and we work on many other issues.
If you donate to a farm organization and they don't work on rodeos, please insist that they start. Rodeo victims are literally dying to entertain the drunks in the stands.

The Daily News has published a story about how activists in New York are fighting a 3-day rodeo at Madison Square Garden.
SHARK is mentioned in the article as being one of the organizations calling for this to be cancelled:
"Animal rights groups such as New Yorkers for Clean, Liveable Streets, Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, the Red Robin Song Animal Sanctuary, Horseracing Wrongs and the Animal Cruelty Exposure Fund joined in calling for the event’s cancellation."
These groups are also working to pass a law to protect rodeo animals across the state of New York, and SHARK has provided video documentation from its 25+ years of exposing rodeos. SHARK has more rodeo video documentation than all other animal protection organizations combined.
