Stop the Bull

Stop the Bull: Sign the Petition!

Promoters bill it as "Man vs. Beast," but it's really an animal cruelty showcase that has no place in our community.

This Friday, the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Monster Energy Tour will be rolling into Ottawa's TD Place for their bull riding extravaganza.

This event is inhumane and we're imploring our community to boycott it. We're also asking people to sign our petition that we'll be giving to the City of Ottawa Friday afternoon asking it to prevent bull riding from ever coming to Ottawa again.

We at the Ottawa Humane Society oppose the use of animals in entertainment acts causing physical or psychological harm. This includes bull riding.

Bull riders use electric prods, spurs and straps tightened around the animal's abdomen/genitals to make the bull buck and charge — they're bucking to stop the pain. It's a lifetime of torment that begins when the youngest bulls are chosen with criteria that weeds out all but those with the most hysterical reaction to the suffering.

These practices are abusive, cruel and stressful and have no place in our community.

Show PBR that Ottawa vehemently opposes the cruel treatment of animals and that their event is not welcome here. Sign the petition now!
