A bull bucks in response to distress, triggered by the rider and a flank strap that is tightened before the bull enters the arena.

Those who support using animals in bull riding events call the animals “athletes,” saying they were “born to buck."

A study looking at the disorders of performance-age bucking bulls discovered that bucking bulls were more likely than non-bucking bulls to develop horn and sinus disorders and musculoskeletal disorders of the vertebral region and pelvic limbs.

Let’s show that Ottawa opposes the cruel treatment of animals in bull riding events, like PBR by telling Ottawa's City Council that Ottawa citizens oppose the cruel treatment of animals in indoor stadium bull riding events like PBR and call for a ban of these events in our city limits. 

This petition when submited to city council is considered a public document at the City of Ottawa and that information contained in it may be subject to the scrutiny of the City and other members of the general public.
