The Animal Protection & Rescue League investigates and exposes animal cruelty, educates consumers and policymakers, and litigates for animals in the courts.
This photo in @sdut captures some of the animal abuse at the center of @Padres rodeo. Pathetic fake cowboys beating up helpless baby cows.

The @Padres animal abusers (Erik Greupner and Caroline Perry) are completely shameless. Texting this sends you to their scam foundation, not any animal rescue group. Meanwhile this is what they're really doing:

Animal abuse on full display at @PetcoPark 1/12/25 for the @Padres Rodeo. Don't let anyone tell you these rodeos are anything but pathetic excuses for men masquerading as cowboys and beating up baby animals.

BREAKING: More animal cruelty documented just last night at Padres Rodeo 1-11-25. Protests are happening NOW at Petco Park in San Diego from 12-2pm for the final day of the rodeo 1-12-25.

@CityofSanDiego has said it will approve another illegal permit, despite muni code section 44.0307 prohibiting cattle, goats & sheep in non-agricultural zones. City council had to pass exemption for temporary use of goats for clearing brush, but has not done so for rodeos.
Court victory today for @APRL4animals & @sharkonline against @Sandiegorodeo! @Padres tried to delay our preliminary injunction hearing. Will still go forward 10/25/24 at 8:30am in Department 73 of San Diego Superior Court.
What we saw at 2024 rodeo:

We attended the 2024 @Padres Rodeo at @PetcoPark. We saw grown men chasing scared baby cows, strangling & body slamming them, hog tying & dragging them through the dirt. If cowards dressed as cowboys treated dogs or cats this way, they'd be arrested.

Some of the scenes our investigators documented at the @Padres Rodeo last January, which they have just announced they are bringing back. Our unlawful business practices lawsuit is continuing.

In January 2024, I obtained court-ordered access to a media booth at @PetcoPark to gather evidence for the lawsuit against @Padres, @c5rodeo, and @CityofSanDiego on behalf of @aprl4animals & @sharkonline. What our investigators and I observed was extremely disturbing.
Photo is of one of the latest friendly, adoptable cats SD Humane wanted to dump back on street without food, water, or follow up after being found covered in motor oil in a junkyard. Thankfully he was rescued by all-volunteer Smittens Rescue!
Court victory in @petassistance1 case against SD Humane’s illegal cat dumping program! Hearing tomorrow is off as Court rejected SD Humane’s last attempt to dismiss case, and now we’ll head to trial in May. (1/2)
Thank you @CMKentLee for putting forth a rodeo ban proposal! I had to watch whole sordid event Friday, after obtaining court order to allow filming from media booth for evidence in ongoing case. Here's a standard event I filmed: coward dressed as cowboy abusing a baby cow.
