The Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo organise en juillet comme chaque année un rodéo, qui est l'une des plus cruelles.

A chaque fois l'asso attire des groupes rock. Cette année-ci ils ont invité les 2 groupes mentionnés ci-dessous.

Pourtant pas mal de membres de Def Leppard sont végétariens et un membre a même demandé dans un appel par Peta aux gens de devenir végétarien.

On leur demande d'annuler leur spectacle. L'année passée Starbucks (un distributeur de café connu) a annulé ses subsides après avoir vu le rodéo.

On peut voire des photos sur le lien dans la lettre

Dears,

This July the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, one of the cruelest rodeos in the world, will once again brutalize, maim and kill animals in the name of mindless "entertainment".

This year the Cheynne rodeo has managed to schedule your group.

It's not the first time the CFD Rodeo has had rock music there in an attempt to coax in a wider, typically non-rodeo-going crowd to their waning event.

However, the Def Leppard signing is something of a surprise, since a number of members of the band are vegetarians. Guitarists/singers Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell are vegetarians, as well as their producer, John "Mutt"

Lange. Phil Collen even made a public service announcement for PETA http://tinyurl.com/2hbe4z urging people to go veggie.

I can't understand why you accepted to play at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo????

I want to let you know that I'll never be able to look at or listen to you the same way if they are part of a show whose history is the maiming and killing of untold numbers of animals. The Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo is one of the most brutal and deadly rodeos in the world, as it features both steer busting and the infamous wild horse race.

You can see SHARK's photos of the CFD Rodeo at

Last year Carrie Underwood withdrew from the Cheyenne event after SHARK sent her video and still pictures showing the cruelty of the Cheyenne rodeo, and after many of you wrote letters to her. Even coffee giant Starbucks withdrew its corporate rodeo sponsorship of CFD when faced with the irrefutable images of animal abuse, injury and death during their Buck Starbucks campaign.

So I hope you will take my request into consideration,

Sincerely,
