Dear John, On Friday and Saturday, 9/10-11/2021, PBR's (Professional Bull Riders) "Unleash the Beast" tour will bring its exhibition of animal cruelty to the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. JOIN THE PROTESTS held by Orange County Animal Liberation to speak out against animal cruelty at rodeos this weekend. DETAILS BELOW. Bull riding is a disturbing spectacle of abuse in which animals are tormented into performing using torture tools such as electric prods, flank straps, and spurs. In the essay Animal Cruelty Inherent in Rodeo Events, Dr. Peggy Larson (DVM, MS, JD) describes bull riding in detail: "Bull riding may appear less harmful, as the bulls are so large. However, in order to enhance the bull's performance, cattle prods are often used to repeatedly shock the bulls as they stand trapped in the bucking chute. Bucking straps and spurs can cause the bull to buck beyond his capability and his legs or back can be broken. Eventually, when bulls cease to provide a wild ride, they too are sent to slaughter." |
