We’ll be campaigning against animal cruelty at the Chilliwack Fair rodeo (August 9-11) again this year and we need your support! Last year, we exposed the use of electric prods in the bull-riding event at the rodeo, which attracted considerable media attention. We need to keep the pressure on the Fair to end the inhumane treatment of animal that’s inherent in rodeo. You can help by contacting the Fair, the mayor of Chilliwack and Tourism Chilliwack at the addresses below. Tell them it’s time Chilliwack put an end to rodeo cruelty and that country fairs don’t need rodeos to be successful.

We’ll also be drawing attention to the treatment of rodeo animals at the Calgary Stampede (July 5-14). You can help by telling the Stampede it needs to stop putting chuckwagon horses at undue risk of death and injury and drop cruel rodeo events.
