Take Action! Contact the Sponsors and Organizers

The Pepsi flag flown at the 2006 Prison Rodeo. Tell Pepsi that sponsoring cruel rodeos puts a sour taste in your mouth!
According to Terry Crenshaw, the warden's assistant at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, the Prison Rodeo is funded by ticket sales and corporate sponsors. So, don't go to the rodeo and don't buy from businesses that give money to the rodeo! Attendance at this cruelty contest has been on the decline for years.

Please speak up for the victims of the Oklahoma Prison Rodeo and tell these companies that as long as they continue to support animal abuse, financially or any other way, that you will not buy their products. They can't help but listen if consumers are loud enough. Urge these businesses to look at the VIDEOS and PHOTOS from SHARK's investigations and remind them that no ethical company should want to be aligned with this sort of pointless and appalling cruelty.

  • Toyota

    Toyota is the major sponsor of the Internation Pro Rodeo Association (IPRA). The IPRA is based in Oklahoma City, OK and provides the professional cowboys that put on the Prison Rodeo. Rodeo associations like the IPRA and PRCA have been documented by SHARK violating their own so-called "humane rules" time and time again.

    These corporations 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.
