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]

Seriously You sick moronic Brainless assholes think this is something anyone with a single brain cell would do. You need a lesson in humanity what the hell is wrong with you.
Wake up the days of the cavemen is over most humans have evolved get a grip & do the same. This is just vile animal abuse that disgusts anyone with any morals or humanity.
Is this how these people make themselves feel like real men, by tormenting cattle, bit sad isn’t it
How can this possibly be called a sport???! There’s allot to do out in Colorado are people that bored they came up with this???? Sickening
Why are rodeo people such humongous assholes?
Scumbag morons. Bet they voted for Trump and all the other politicians who say global warming is a hoax, who think it’s acceptable to slaughter wolves, who think it’s just fine and dandy to poison water through fracking and pollute the air by removing coal mining regulations. Animal abusers are usually polluters who are ignorant in every area that requires thought, the assessment of science, and, most important, compassion. The US is supposed to be a world leader? In what – the number of nukes an idiot can deploy with a button? Any culture is as good or bad as its treatment of animals. The US is shameful.
I find these, so called men PATHETIC!!!1 Nothing better to do but abuse animals?? Get a life!! They all deserve respect, not this kind of crap!!!
You are a bunch of cowards.
“BAD KARMA WILL GET YOU ONE DAY!!!!!!”
What will you cowards think of next?? What animal will you abuse?? People that hurt animals, end up hurting children???
So SICK of animal abuse???!!!
I can’t believe the many ways ‘mankind’ has thought up to torture and brutalize all living creatures…another sickening display of ‘man over beast’….some day I hope the beasts win…
I have been to a rodeo in Morris,Mb. In the calf roping round,a poor little calf had gotten his neck broke and died in front of the crowd. I was horrified. Never been back to another rodeo ever.
Pieces of SHIT!!!! Shame on you all and to the stupid low life assholes that go and watch this sick shit are just as bad. Get a job then you won’t have so much time on your hands to torture any animals. I hope the Beasts do win against man. God is going to say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!”
Surprise that this is Colorado; I would think this was what happens in Mexico; like the bull fights….Patsy Melonakis, Assessor of Adams County, Colorado “STOP” this animal abuse “NOW” and if you don’t then “SHAME ON YOU”!
What a bloody disgrace, un evolved turds. These scumbags need to have hanging parts of their bodies ripped off, I will gladly do it, they are absolute shit.
Why in the world would you do something like this?
That. Is. Torture.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!this is SO cruel and unnecessary!ridiculous…can’t people find other, non cruel forms of entertainment?? This MUST BE STOPPED
Totally agree. Before these ‘cowboys’ take part, they should be made to nominate a family member who has to replace a bull in the next competition.k
WHAT TF WHO TF signs up for this ridiculousness! Why are these horrific animal cruelty shows being offered anywhere in the world? You individuals particularly participating in these events need a head check!
I bet these cowboys think they’re better than “unevolved” men in Third World countries.
Law Makers you are responsible for this cruelty. Obviously the monsters who do this are inadequate. USA you are as barbaric as Spain with their bull murdering and Australia with its live expot. This is not entertainment. What can I expect with a President and his sons killing wild animals and sticking their heads on walls. I am ashamed to be human. God’s wraith his coming, sooner than you think. I hope you enablers and perpetrators are ready to meet your maker. Satan is waiting where you will burn in a sea of fire, be shown no mercy and your pain will be constant.
I second the motion~!
Can these organizations be sued on grounds of animal cruelty?
What about the State of Colorado itself? They are complicit!
you’d think that Americans would have more brains than doing something like this
I hate rodeos as they hurt the steer and animals that are involved. This is pure torture for the steers. What the hell is wrong with people that they would consider harming an animal FUN???????
