BACKGROUND: Bull riding is a dangerous and cruel rodeo “sport” that jeopardizes both the human rider and the bull. Bull riders compete for points by attempting to stay on the back of a 2,000-pound bucking bull for eight seconds or more. To force bulls to buck, handlers inflict pain using electric prods, flank straps and spurs. These tools of torture result in physical trauma, broken bones, sprains, torn ligaments, paralysis, pulled muscles and even death during competition.

Four riders have been killed in the last eight months— the most recent being a 25-year-old PBR rider who was killed in Denver after a bull stomped on his chest. Riders also suffer serious spinal and brain injuries. A study from the University of Calgary found rodeo contestants are 20 times more likely than football players to suffer catastrophic injuries.

ABOUT LCA:  Last Chance for Animals (LCA) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating animal exploitation through education, investigations, legislation, and public awareness campaigns.  Since its formation in 1984, LCA has succeeded as one of the nation’s pioneer animal advocacy organizations. LCA’s educational and public outreach programs have empowered others to make positive changes for animals.  For more information, visit www.lcanimal.org or follow @LC4A on Twitter.
