Today, PETA supporters at the Canton Repository Grand Parade, which featured NFL Hall of Famers<\/a>, hopped a barricade of spectators and marched behind the Budweiser Clydesdales\u2019 entourage with a large banner demanding that Anheuser-Busch stop amputating horses\u2019 tailbones. The protesters carried the banner behind the Clydesdales for six blocks over the course of 20 minutes, until police escorted them away from the parade route. Video footage and photos of the disruption are available <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As PETA recently revealed in a damning video expos\u00e9<\/a>, Budweiser has been severing Clydesdales\u2019 tailbones\u2014either with a scalpel or with a tight band that stops the blood supply to the tail, causing it to die and fall off\u2014just so they\u2019ll look a certain way when hitched to a beer wagon. Tailbone amputation for cosmetic reasons is condemned by the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Equine Practitioners and is illegal in 10 states and a number of countries. The practice causes immense pain, affects horses\u2019 balance, and removes their first line of defense against biting and disease-spreading insects.<\/p>\n

\u201cParadegoers now know that the Budweiser Clydesdales\u2019 tailbones have been chopped off by Anheuser-Busch to sell beer,\u201d says PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. \u201cSecurity can force PETA out of the parade, but it can\u2019t stop the world from finding out that Budweiser has blood on its cans<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

PETA\u2014whose motto reads, in part, that \u201canimals are not ours to use for entertainment\u201d\u2014opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
