Ocala, Fla. â PETA supporters will descend on the Live Oak International equestrian event Saturday, where Budweiser will be displaying the âWorld-Famous Budweiser Clydesdales,â to challenge the company to stop mutilating the horses. As recently revealed in PETAâs video exposĂ©, Budweiser severs the horsesâ tailbones by cutting them off or using a tight band that stops the blood supply to the tail, causing it to die and fall offâall so the Clydesdales will look a certain way when hitched to the beer wagon.
When: Saturday, March 18, 12:30 p.m.
Where: Live Oak Plantation (main entrance), 2215 S.W. 110th Ave., Ocala
âHorses need their tails, and cutting them off causes immense pain, affects their balance, and removes their first line of defense against biting and disease-spreading insects,â says PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. âBudweiser is the King of Tears for disfiguring the Clydesdales, and PETA is calling on the company to let these horses keep the tails nature gave them.â
PETAâwhose motto reads, in part, that âanimals are not ours to use for entertainmentââpurchased stock earlier this month in Anheuser-Busch InBev, Budweiserâs parent company, in order to push the company from the inside to stop severing horsesâ tails.
PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information about PETAâs investigative newsgathering and reporting, please visit PETA.org, listen to The PETA Podcast, or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
