Why do ethical companies support rodeo cruelty? THEY DON'T! Click here to watch GRAPHIC - Rodeos Abuse, Maim and Kill Animals.

The following corporations and organizations give money to support contests of cruelty propagandized as "family entertainment." Without financial backing from corporations and welfare from the government, the rodeo industry would never survive. Help put an end to the torture, injuries, and deaths of animals trapped in a bloodsport that hides behind the falsehood of "American tradition" because it can't stand on its own.
Please contact these rodeo sponsors and tell them to get out of the abuse industry. Then forward any response you receive to SHARK at SHindi@sharkonline.org.Bank of America
This ad in the program says that BOA is "proud" to support the trauma, abuse, and injuries at the National Finals Steer Roping. Tell Bank of America to stop supporting horrific animal cruelty!We were very surprised and disappointed to see Bank of America (BOA) sponsoring the most brutal and deadly event in American rodeo, steer roping. This is also known as steer busting and steer tripping and BOA was a major sponsor of the infamous National Finals Steer Roping, held at the Lea County Event Center in Hobbs, New Mexico on November 2 & 3, 2007.
The 2007 Steer Roping Finals resulted in injuries to seven animals, five steers who had to be sledded out, another painfully injured but able to limp out, and an injury to a horse. This horse was the second used by steer roping "champion" Trevor Brazile to be injured in the weeks around the Finals. SHARK investigators photographed and filmed the abusive event, and you can watch our video detailing the cruelty and corruption HERE.
We hope BOA will quickly reconsider this extremely cruel and unethical sponsorship. It is extremely important for BOA account holders especially to contact this company.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car
TeamAnimal AbuseEnterpriseNot satisfied being a part-time sponsor of animal cruelty, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has now given so much money to the animal abusers that they have been rewarded with a whole series of animal torture named after them. In fact, Enterprise is now wasting so much money on rodeo that it joins the big leagues with cheap beer manufacturers and chewing tobacco companies in having their own rodeo “tour”.
While most companies try and support endeavors that benefit the community or help the environment, Enterprise decided to go another way and waste its money on torturing animals for entertainment in the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Tour on the Professional Bull Riders circuit.

What is a "progressive" company like Southwest thinking? Southwest Airlines tries to appear animal-friendly by sponsoring the Humane Society of the United States's Genesis Awards, but then turns around and gives money to an industry that abuses hundreds of thousands of animals in rodeos every year. Clearly the airline has no real ethical standard. Click here to read SWA's opinion that rodeo is "fun" sport.
