Protest Rodeo Cruelty in West Jordan

Join UARC supporters and other compassionate people at a protest against the inherent cruelty involved in rodeos, at the West Jordan Western Stampede.

Animals used in rodeos are shocked with electric prods, have their tails twisted, their necks jerked back with ropes, and have uncomfortable "flanking straps" tied to force them to buck. These animals often experience fatal injuries, including broken backs and necks, heart attacks, and aneurysms. Those who manage to make it through unscathed are given little time to rest or recuperate. They are loaded into trucks, hauled to the next event, and forced to participate over and over again. When they become too old or worn out to continue, “retirement” is often a one-way trip to the slaughterhouse.
