Montréalais et Montréalaises:
voulez-vous un RODĂO Ă MONTRĂAL
ANNĂE aprĂšs ANNĂE?
Montrealers
Do you want a RODEO in MONTREAL
YEAR after YEAR?
Alors que plusieurs villes et Ătats dans le monde bannissent le rodĂ©o en raison de la souffrance animale qui en rĂ©sulte, se tiendra Ă MontrĂ©al, dans deux semaines, la « premiĂšre Ă©dition » du nouveau rodĂ©o urbain destinĂ©e Ă souligner le 375Ăšme anniversaire de la villeâŠ
§§§ While several cities and states worldwide are outlawing rodeos because of the suffering they cause, in Montreal, in two weeks, there will be the “first edition” of a new “urban rodeo” to celebrate the cityâs 375th anniversaryâŠ
La rĂ©putation globale de MontrĂ©al en matiĂšre de bien-ĂȘtre animal sâen trouvera assurĂ©ment entachĂ©e.
Montrealâs global reputation in matters of animal well-being will certainly find itself stainedâŠ
Visiblement, le maire de MontrĂ©al ne sâen formalise pas :
Obviously the mayor of Montreal has no problem with this (video is in French):
Et quâun cheval meurt lors dâune Ă©preuve de monte extrĂȘme du mĂȘme fournisseur de rodĂ©os (St-Tite) trois mois avant son « rodĂ©o urbain » ne le perturbe aucunement…
And the fact that a horse dies in a bronco-riding trial from the same rodeo producer (St-Tite) three months before his âurbain rodeoâ does not trouble him eitherâŠ
Grady, 6 ans, sâest fracturĂ© la colonne vertĂ©brale en raison dâune « zone de faiblesse » qui nâa pas Ă©tĂ© dĂ©tectĂ©e au prĂ©alable, malgrĂ© les prĂ©cautions que disent prendre les vĂ©tĂ©rinaires mandatĂ©s par le RodĂ©o de St-Tite. Si Grady nâavait pas Ă©tĂ© soumis au rodĂ©o, il serait encore en vie aujourdâhui.
Grady, age six, broke his back because of a “weak area of his spine” which was not detected in advance, despite all the precautions that the St-Tite Rodeo’s veterinarians boast of taking: If he had not been forced to perform in rodeos, Grady would still be alive today.
