Protest the San Diego Rodeo
When:
Friday, January 10th 16.00
Saturday January 11th 16.00
Sunday January 12th 12.00
Where: Petco Park on K Street and 7th Avenue
About:
Mayor Todd Gloria, and the San Diego City Council for allowing this cruel rodeo event to happen again. We will not stand by while innocent animals suffer for entertainment.
Join us as we protest outside the entrance to the rodeo:
Animals used in rodeos endure horrific abuse and often suffer fatal injuries—broken necks, backs, heart attacks, or aneurysms. Those who survive face relentless exploitation, being trucked from one event to the next with no rest. When they can no longer perform, many are sent to slaughterhouses.There is nothing kind about rodeos—they are extreme animal cruelty. Let’s raise our voices for the victims who cannot speak for themselves.
Materials provided—but feel free to bring homemade signs
Contact: Ellen Ericksen, Sidney J, or San Diego Vegan Activists.
Together, we can make a difference. The animals deserve better.

Protest Bearded Dragon Sales at PetSmart
When: Saturday, January 25th at 15.00
Where: 865 Jackman St. El Cajon, CA.
About:
Please join local PETA supporters to protest PetSmart for selling bearded dragons and other animals. A whistleblower who worked at Reptiles by Mack, a Xenia, Ohio supplier to Phoenix-based PetSmart, found dragons at the suppliers' facility confined in barren plastic tubs where they could not burrow, hide, or climb—all basic bearded dragon behaviors.
Dragons were denied water for drinking and soaking; they attempted to drink drops of water left behind during cleaning and drank continuously when the eyewitness misted the enclosures. Dragons were often found lethargic, emaciated, or suffering from other conditions, including apparent fungal and mouth infections. At least 420 dragons—including dozens of babies deemed “slow growers”—were put down in less than eight weeks. Dragons, including babies, were routinely found dead. The eyewitness alone found 69 dragons dead in less than eight weeks. When the eyewitness asked how animals were put down, a supervisor said the animals were gassed using carbon dioxide for up to 10 minutes.Unable to hide or escape the crowded conditions, dragons often fought, resulting in severe injuries to their tails and feet. Instead of seeking immediate care for the injured animals, Mack management instructed staff to leave them in bins until a veterinarian might examine them on his reported weekly visits. Thousands of baby dragons were imported from overseas, packed by the dozen in tiny plastic containers. Others were bred at Mack. Zip ties were put around the necks of dragons used for breeding, and the females were left in garbage cans to lay eggs, with no food or water, for up to six days at a time.Workers were forced to work so quickly they were denied time to check on the health of hundreds or even thousands of animals they were responsible for in a shift.
