  • I believe that bull riding does not belong at the city-owned Manchester SNHU Arena. 

    • Bulls Are Forced to Buck Beyond Their Natural Capacity
      To make bulls buck explosively, riders and stock contractors use flank straps, spurs, and other pressure-based devices.

    • Injuries Are Common — and Often Catastrophic
      Bulls suffer broken legs, backs, and other traumatic injuries during rides. Bulls that break bones are typically euthanized.

    • Bulls Have No Choice
      Riders enter the arena by consent. Bulls do not.

    • Human Safety Risks
      Spectators are also at risk. Escaping bulls injure spectators and damage property. 

    Many cities around the country have passed ordinances to prohibit bull riding and/or rodeo events. I ask that Manchester do the same to protect animals and people.
