DENVER IN A FLURRY OF RODEO ANIMAL ABUSE AND CORRUPTION

Hi Everybody,
Animal rights activists are being prevented from showing important documentation. I just now checked and the video is back up on YouTube. Scroll down to Denver Rodeo Vet Brutally Kills Elk Calf and click on this video. You won't believe your eyes, but there it is, and everyone needs to see it. If for some reason it has been removed again, follow the directions in the following e-mail from Alissa at SHARK.

Hi Gayle-

YouTube has once again removed one of our videos, likely at the behest of the prorodeo forces/PRCA. We are working quickly to get in reinstated on YouTube, as we did the others, but currently you will have to view the video (and forward to your friends) on www.RodeoCruelty.com in the "recent headlines" column. There is also a direct link there to see it on google's video page. Let me know if you encounter any problems with it. It needs to be seen far and wide.

DENVER IN A FLURRY OF RODEO ANIMAL ABUSE AND CORRUPTION
Dear Friends,
I hope you are all wearing hip boots, cause it's getting pretty deep in Denver, and I'm not talking about the snow.
A fourth article has come out about the Denver National Western Rodeo. This article exposes that, contrary to claims from Colorado State Veterinarian, and infamous elk calf killer Dr. John Maulsby, who also chairs the rodeo Animal Care and Use Committee (yes, that's a major conflict of interest) he did NOT talk to company officials at electric prod maker Miller Manufacturing, and therefore he was NOT told by those officials that it was acceptable to shock horses.
There a blizzard of corruption in Denver right now, as rodeo hacks like Dr. Maulsby scramble in an attempt to give a pass to rodeo animal abuse. Denver Animal Control Director Doug Kelley seems inclined to go with the flow, playing "yes man" to Maulsby's outright lies.
Dr. Maulsby is perhaps the most notorious state veterinarian in the United States. In 1996 Dr. Maulsby was videotaped trying to kill an elk calf by breaking its neck. When that failed, Maulsby cut his victim's throat. Maulsby was demoted for this cruelty when he should have been fired and prosecuted for EXTREME ANIMAL ABUSE. Read the article here. I hope everyone will educate themselves about the history of Dr. Maulsby by checking out one of SHARK's latest videos titled:

You can also check out all four of the Denver Post articles that have covered SHARK's bust of the Denver Rodeo, which is one of the jewels of the rodeo mafia:

Now, we have exposed the The National Western Rodeo as just another filthy sludge pit of animal abuse, with wannabe cowboys shocking tame, domesticated horses to make them appear wild from pain and fear, and corrupt officials trying to sweep it all under the rug. Now is your time to make your voice heard, and to make change for the nonhuman victims of rodeo.

WHAT CAN YOU DO
Please contact the Denver County Prosecutor's Office, David R. Fine and insist that charges be filed against those who shocked horses at the Denver National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. Shocking horses violates Denver's humane ordinance Section 8-131.

If Colorado Governor Bill Ritter Jr. has any integrity at all, he will demand the long overdue resignation of the infamous Dr. John Maulsby, who has wallowed at the public trough for far too long, at the expense of far too many of our nonhuman friends.

SHARK thanks the Rocky Mountain Animal Defense (www.rmad.org) for quickly getting us video footage of the criminal animal abuse of Dr. John Maulsby in the killing of an elk calf.

HELP SHARK KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING STRONG AGAINST RODEOS
As you can see, SHARK has started 2008 off with a BANG! We have already hit two rodeos and received amazing media coverage! We plan to keep the momentum going to build on our significant accomplishments of last year.

Your support is vital in helping SHARK keep the pressure on rodeos, their corporate sponsors, the media, and law enforcement officials. Without pressure, changes for the animals won't happen and we have come too far to let up now.

Let's make this a great 2008 for the animal victims of rodeos!

"Kindness and compassion towards all living beings is a mark of a civilized society. Racism, economic deprival, dog fighting and cock fighting, bullfighting and rodeos are all cut from the same defective fabric: violence. Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well ourselves." - Cesar Chavez
