Canton, OH: Protest Budweiser for Mutilating Clydesdales!

Please join local PETA supporters to protest Budweiser for amputating Clydesdales’ tailbones!

Clydesdales, like all horses, need their tails to protect themselves from biting insects—including those that carry West Nile virus and other pathogens. Their tails are also important for balance, mobility, and communication. When the Budweiser Clydesdales are still foals, the bones of their tails, which are part of their spines, are completely or partially severed, either with a scalpel or by putting a band around the tail to stop blood flow until the tail eventually dies and falls off. Amputating a horse’s tail (commonly called “tail docking”) is so cruel that this needless cosmetic procedure is prohibited in 10 U.S. states unless medically necessary.
