Sanctuary cows?
Agree 100%đ
That murder thing gets us everytime- thankfully!
#wildlandfirefighters #flatfire
The BEST state fairs do not have rodeos!! (Public displays of animal abuse aren't cool!)
So trueđ
Time to stop hiding the reality of rodeo.
People claim to be against animal cruelty but support and even sponsor rodeos!! #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #usbank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #coldwellbankerbain #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
Exactly!! And letâs add rodeo to the list!! Somehow, this public display of animal abuse is legal!
Please don't sponsor animal abuse! #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #usbank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #coldwellbankerbain #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
Time to challenge this violent tradition. #horses #animalrights #timeforchange
Perfect little being! đ
Please respect nonhuman animals- they don't deserve this comparison.

youtu.be/diTJHayxkkw?... Cultural conditioning continued! This remarkable person made the journey from bareback bronc rider to animal advocate!
youtu.be/fSFpbKH8J8I?...
The power of cultural conditioning is that it teaches us not to question what weâve been told is ânormal.â #bebrave #question #animalrights
Many assume bulls arenât hurt in rodeos because theyâre so big. Flank straps, spurs, prods, and loud arenas force these pray animals to buck, often leading to injuries we canât see â torn, ligaments, joint damage, and chronic pain. Size doesnât equal invincibility. Suffering is not entertainment.
Awful! Rodeos are nothing but spectacles of animal abuse! #banrodeo
Where are all the animal advocates on Bluesky?
Violence and assault should not be celebrated as entertainment.
Rodeo calls them âcowboys.â We call them what they are: performers. Rodeo exists for one purpose only â to exploit and abuse animals for profit and call it âentertainment.â #cosplay #performers #animalrights #sistersoregon #redmondoregon #bendoregonlife #centraloregon #centraloregonlife #visitbend
Rodeo serves no purpose other than profit and âentertainment.â Tradition doesnât excuse animal abuse. #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #usbank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
I wish chickens werenât being disrespected. The comparison is unfair. Did you know they have impulse control and build communities?

Community leaders have a responsibility to uphold ethical treatment of animals!
vancouverhumanesociety.bc.ca/posts/the-tr... Keep exposing the truth and maybe one day this obvious form of animal abuse will be a thing of the past! #stcharleshealthsystem #partnersincare #
Please donât insult nonhuman animals. They deserve respect!
In Central Oregon, thereâs much to do that doesn't include animal abuse! #sistersoregon #redmondoregon #bendoregon #bendoregonlife #centraloregon #centraloregonlife #sisterschamberofcommerce #visitbend

Why do we celebrate grown adults terrorizing, dominating, and abusing defenseless, innocent babies? Replace the calf with a dog, and it would be a crime. #sistersoregon #redmondoregon #bendoregon #bendoregonlife #centraloregon #centraloregonlife #sisterschamberofcommerce #visitbend

Anyone interested in helping animals? #compassion #animalrights #timeforchange #stcharleshealthsystem
Abuse is abuse whether or not it is excused by tradition!
#sistersoregon #redmondoregon #bendoregon #bendoregonlife #centraloregon #centraloregonlife #sisterschamberofcommerce #visitbend Help us advocate for animals forced into rodeo. #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #firstinterstatebank #bimart #centraloregondaily #newschannel21
Speak up for animals!! #animaladvocacy #risingappalacia
Proud of our copak team and our commitment to ending animal abuse in our communityđ

Maybe speaking up for rodeo animals isnât popularâour follower count suggests that! How do we attract more advocates who want to defend these defenseless beings?
Please speak up against animal abuse in our community!! #sistersoregon #redmondoregon #bendoregon #bendoregonlife #centraloregon #centraloregonlife #sisterschamberofcommerce #visitbend #stcharleshealthsystem #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21

If rodeo animals had paws instead of hooves, these events would be recognized as animal abuse and a crime. Itâs time to end the celebration of animal abuse. #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #amerititle #bimart #ktvz #centraloregondaily #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
Please help us speak up for animals used in rodeos!!
Rodeo propaganda claims they treat animals better than we treat our pets â that they love them. Watch the second video â see what rodeo love really looks like. Rodeos are public displays of animal abuse, disguised as tradition. #stcharleshealthsystem #visitbend #sistersoregon #redmondoregon
#mixedmessages #stcharleshealthsystem #rodeosarecruel
Isnât it strange that #stcharleshealthsystem promotes helmet use to prevent head injuries â yet sponsors rodeos, where head injuries are common? #communityhealth
Please choose compassion over dominance and exploitation by boycotting rodeos. #sistersoregon #redmondoregon #bendoregon #bendoregonlife #centraloregon #centraloregonlife #sisterschamberofcommerce #visitbend #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #rodeosarecruel #kindnessforanimals
And don't go to rodeos!
No animal deserves this treatment. Sponsors of this animal abuse: #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #usbank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #coldwellbankerbain #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
How exciting!!! Congratulations!
Why does Central Oregonâs ONLY hospital system sponsor acts of violence toward and domination of animals? #rodeosarecruel #rodeosharmanimals #modelkindness #stcharleshealthsystem
We include nonhuman animals in others, too! đ
And to think that many playful little claves are harmed and even killed when rodeo performers are practicing and tortured and terrorized during rodeo events is so disturbing. #banrodeo #rodeosarecruel
Cute goat! Goats are such interesting beings! Is this a farm sanctuary?
Imagine if everyone who claimed to â¤ď¸ animals actually meant it enough to live it? #Vegan #FTA âď¸

It's time to expose the lies!! Rodeos are about dominance and violence!! copak.org
www.latimes.com/california/s... Oh, the lies of rodeo! âWe treat the animals better than you treat your pets.â Really? Stop sponsoring animal abuse #stcharleshealthsystem #ktvz #centraloregondaily #firstinterstatebank

Who monitors and enforces the HMSA?
No rodeo is humane. #stopthelies #rodeosarecruel #animalrights
If dogs replaced calves, it would be a felony. Why do these sponsors support animal abuse? #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #usbank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
Did you know calves forced into rodeos are tortured while trapped in the chute? Their tails are twisted, rubbed raw against steel bars, and they are shocked with 5,000 volt electric prods. This is animal abuse for the sole purpose of human entertainment.
Asking rodeo participants how the animals are treated is like asking perpetrators how the victim is.
So disturbingly sad.
What causes are important to you? #advocacymatters #care
To everyone still showing up when it would be easier to walk awayâthis is for you. Your quiet strength, your daily sacrifices, your relentless care...they matter more than words can say. đđž
Love this! đ copak.org
Delicious food made with heart and kindness! #brokenangelfoodcart #compassion #kindness
Ask these sponsors why they support animal abuse. #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #usbank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #coldwellbankerbain #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #cascadenaturalgas #newschannel21
Don't believe the lies!
Thank you! We will read this!!!
Did you know calves are injured and even killed while rodeo performers practice for events like calf roping? â Yeah, I accidentally killed and injured lots of calves when I was learning. I mean, I played rope their heads off.â Gavin Ehringer #stcharles sponsors such violence.
Taking a break in nature to replenish.
Nope, rodeo animals are not having fun, contrary to rodeo propaganda.
Awful. This is animal abuse. So common for organizers to ignore the laws! #animalrights #abuse #calves
when you attend or sponsor a rodeo, your pain to watch a baby calf â just 3 to 4 months old â tormented for entertainment. #stcharleshealthsystem #midoregoncreditunion #umpquabank #firstinterstatebank #amerititle #bimart #ktvz #centraloregondaily #lapinecommunityhealthcenter #newschannel21
Thank you. We should never use nonhuman animals as an insult toward humans and human behaviors.
Yes!
Rodeos are public displays of animal abuse excused by tradition and rodeo propaganda. Thank you for highlighting this fact! Pop over to Bend and help us fight for rodeo animals! đ copak.org
No kidding!! đ
Itâs not the dogsâ fault, but they are the ones who get blamed and punished. Itâs the human who need training! It is disheartening when people ignore leash laws. It causes disruption on many levels and makes it hard for the kind souls who adopt traumatized dogs and are more reactive.
