It Seems Budweiser Has a Thing for Cutting Off Appendages.

One More Very Good Reason to BOYCOTT Budweiser:

I'm not generally a fan of PETA because some of their causes are just 'out there' but this is one that cannot be ignored.

PETA went undercover at Warm Springs Ranch in Missouri (the official breeding facility of the Budweiser Clydesdales), visited Grant’s Farm (where the horses are trained), and talked to handlers who travel with teams of the adult horses.

They documented that Anheuser-Busch, which produces Budweiser beer, amputates the tailbones of the famed Clydesdales—primarily so they’ll look a certain way as they pull the company’s wagon.

Horses also depend on their tails for mobility and to communicate. Tailbone amputation is so harmful that many European countries have completely banned it, as have 10 U.S. states, unless it’s medically necessary.

Budweiser representatives disingenuously claim they do it for safety reasons so the tails won’t get caught on the wagon-pulling equipment. But many humane alternatives exist, including braiding and wrapping, both of which are common. There’s no excuse for animal abuse.

Horses subjected to tail amputation can’t properly protect themselves from flies or other biting insects, which could increase their risk of being infected with West Nile virus or other pathogens transmitted via insects.

Horses also depend on their tails for communication and balance, and removing even part of them limits these functions. Tailbone amputation is so painful and harmful that many European countries have completely banned it, as have 10 U.S. states
(except when it’s medically necessary).

Could this be the cause of the recent accident in Austin, Texas?
