Let’s end rodeo cruelty in Chilliwack
The Chilliwack Fair has ignored calls to end animal cruelty at its annual rodeo.
Compassionate Canadians need to let the Fair, its sponsors, Tourism Chilliwack and the City of Chilliwack know that spectacles of animal abuse have no place in the 21st century. (Our video shows why.) These influential bodies should urge the Fair to drop cruel rodeo events.
At the 2018 Chilliwack Fair, VHS exposed the use of an electric prod at the rodeo’s bull-riding event and obtained photographic evidence of rodeo animals in distress at the 2016 and 2018 fairs. Despite this evidence the Fair refuses to stop the cruelty and end the suffering of the animals.
