However, Coca-Cola is a prominently displayed major sponsor at many of the world's largest rodeos, such as the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, the Pendleton Round-Up, and the Houston Rodeo. For years SHARK has documented abuse, injuries, and deaths at rodeos around the country, and made our investigative video and photos available to anyone via our sites such as RodeoCruelty.com and TheCruelTruth.com
So why is Coke sponsoring rodeos, in contradiction of the company's policy?
Amazingly, Coke blames its own bottlers. Coke claims the bottlers are able to do their own independent advertising without violating Coke's Animal Welfare Policy. This is ludicrous on its face. Coca-Cola obviously has strict control over its bottlers, and besides, the advertising is being done for Coke, not the local bottling company.

Coca-Cola likes to claim it is "The Real Thing." The only thing real is that Coke is giving animal abusers money, supporting cruelty, and showing itself to be a corporation that establishes progressive policies for public relations purposes only.
Here is Coca-Cola's latest response to all of your complaints, they have created a FAQ saying they don't support rodeo and instead they try and blame their own bottlers for all of the cruelty, torture, and death that they inflict upon rodeo animals.
Be sure and take note of Coke passing the buck and including a letter from the actual animal abusers themselves trying to justify their torture.
SHARK is determined to get Coca-Cola out of the animal abuse business!
