Calgary, Alta. – Regardless of warnings from PETA and animal advocates from throughout Canada, chuckwagon races are continuing on the Calgary Stampede—and one horse utilized in them has already sustained a grave damage and been euthanized. Under, please discover a assertion from PETA Government Vice President Tracy Reiman:
Catastrophic accidents and deaths will likely be inevitable so long as the Calgary Stampede forces horses to drag wagons at breakneck speeds. Since greater than 70 light horses have been run to dying at this occasion to this point, PETA is looking on Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to finish the chuckwagon races earlier than the dying toll rises.
PETA—whose motto reads, partly, that “animals are usually not ours to make use of for leisure or abuse in some other method”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For extra info, please go to PETA.org or comply with the group on Twitter, Fb, or Instagram.
