SHARK INVESTIGATORS BUST NATIONAL STEER BUSTING FINALS

From the November 2007 Shark Newsletter:

"We have caught the rodeo mafia red-handed violating their promise of veterinary care for their animal victims.  The victims are the steers of steer busting, the most abused victims in the rodeo industry.  And it wasn't just any rodeo, but the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's National Finals Steer Roping in Hobbs, New Mexico.

Just when our "friends" in the rodeo mafia thought their heartaches from SHARK's exposes were over, given the near end of the rodeo season, they caught the nastiest of surprises.

 

We let the rodeo folks believe that they were home free with their abuses in this, the worst of rodeo events, until the very end.  The Finals had literally just ended before they found out that the rotten acts of abuse they had dumped on the animals was going to come back on them in a very, very big way.  See our videos posted on YouTube:

The very fact that the steer busting finals were held in a place like Hobbs (where, you are asking, is that?), when all the other rodeo finals events are held in Las Vegas, is an acknowledgement by rodeo folks that steer busting is indefensible.  Hobbs is close to nothing, and this gave the rodeo people false security, thinking we wouldn't bother to go there.  That actually made Hobbs irrestistible to us.

 

Now we have additional campaign targets, as if we needed any more.  But in the case of the Boys and Girls Club of America, whose shocking story you will read below, we will be fighting not only for the welfare of animals, but for children as well.  I hope you will join me in  taking action on behalf of rodeo victims, as well as the young victims of the Boys and Girls Club nationwide.

If the Boys and Girls Club doesn't come around, and fast, the organization's Atlanta headquarters is going to get a visit from the Tiger Truck (assuming we get some funding).  Hopefully it won't come to that, but it is up to them.  Please call and email the National Headquarters of the Boys and Girls Club of America right away.  Contact information is provided below.
