Urge Ipswich to Ban Cruel Rodeos
Animals in rodeos are terrorized into action when men shove electric prods into them, twist their necks, yank them by their tails or legs, slam them to the ground, or otherwise batter them. Rodeo promoters say that the animals are wild and rough, but without the use of spurs, tail-twisting, and bucking straps cinched tightly around their abdomens and groin areas, these frightened and often docile animals wouldn't even buck.
Injuries to animals—including deep internal organ bruising, hemorrhaging, bone fractures, ripped tendons, and torn ligaments and muscles—are expected in this violent tradition.
