Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Hi all I thought you might be interested in the following:- Your help is urgently needed. The 2002 Salt Lake Organising Committee is planning to hold a rodeo as part of the Olympic Arts Festival during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Rodeos consist of horribly cruel, violent acts against animals. Sharp sticks, tail-twisting, spurs, electric pods and bucking straps are all used to make bulls, horses and calves appear 'wild' so that the cowboys will look tough and macho. Compassionate people world-wide are ashamed of rodeo. Olympic organisers must hear from the international community in order to understand that hosting an 'Olympic Rodeo' would result in the state of Utah's world-wide public embarrassment, as well as being a disgrace to the spirit of the Olympic Games.
