Target: Jefferson County, Colorado local government
Goal: Stop the cruel “coleadero” event in which bulls experience broken or dismembered tails.
A coleadero, also known as steer tailing, is an event in which a bull is tortured and pulled by his tail until he rams into the ground. Jefferson County is one of the only locations in the United States that has hosted a coleadero and it sounds like another one may occur if steps aren’t taken now to ban the practice. Animal suffering should never be considered a form of entertainment. It is time to permanently stop this unnecessary cruelty by passing a law banning this sick practice.
During the event, a man on horseback chases a bull while he twists and distorts the bull’s tail to try to force the animal into the ground. The bull’s tail often breaks and sometimes is even dismembered. The bulls are not the only ones in danger during this event. Horses often get injured due to the high chances of painful collisions and getting bucked by the bull. The animals are often left to suffer with no form of veterinary care.
Sign this petition to demand that Jefferson County pass a law to permanently ban this cruel event. This event shows some of the ugliest sides of humanity, and it is time to stop abusing animals for entertainment.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Officials,
A coleadero has taken place in your county and may occur again soon. During a coleadero, a man on horseback chases and terrorizes a scared bull. The cowboy will yank, twist and distort the bull’s tail until the bull runs himself into the ground. The tail often breaks and sometimes is even dismembered. This is animal cruelty.
Please put an end to this cruel event by passing an ordinance banning the practice. Animal suffering should not be considered entertainment, and it is time to stop this unnecessary cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Dear Jefferson county officials,

I really don’t understand what In the world is WRONG with the minds of this civilization. blood thirsty sick humans that find joy causing another living being unbearable pain and suffering . Why should these people need to be told that their joy is only for the sick And demented. They are sick them selfs and just don’t know it maybe ?? Shame shame
Yeah, just like abortion, right?
Stop abusing animals for Sport! Why would anyone think this is ok.
The abuse to animals are countless, If you take a second to look into their eyes and see fear, they are being hurt till dead, heartless people need to STOP all this just because they think is funn. We have a brain but it seems like for some ppl doesn’t work.
Everyday I see something more horrifying than the 1 before. I absolutely HATE people! What is wrong with so much of the human population that people sit around thinking up ways to torture animals?? People should just kill each other and leave the innocent alone!
Just like abortion, right?
I agree with you??
Why must let humans have activities of torture to animals
Very wrong, just like abortion is also very wrong!
I’m soooooo very sick of seeing these kinds of things ….I don’t understand the joy of hurting another living being !! I hate people sometime !!
HORRIBLE act of cruelty. These poor bulls need not to have cowardly “cowboys” torture them! There is no need and certainly no fun in watching, unless you are inhuman! Needs to stop immediately!
It says my email is invalid and won’t let me sign the petition.
