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]

MOST humans-not all are MONSTERS to do this and any other cruelity to a defenseless animal that only brings love & kindness to our world. Just once I’d like to see the punishment for this abuse fit the crime!!! Whatever piece of slime hurts and animal should have the same abuse inflicted upon themselves!??
You are so right, I think the punishment should fit the crime always be it animal or human what ever the crime is it should be inflicted on the cruel inhuman individuals that do such things and definitely the ones in this case, they pull tails off Bulls they should have the same inflicted on them
