Letter To The Editor: Chicken Roping Is Gratuitous Bullying

Published on February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 in News/wyoming economy

Dear Editor:

I was sickened to learn about and watch a video of a chicken roping event hosted by a Wyoming bar.

Treating other animals with such disrespect is a form of gratuitous bullying.

Cruelty to animals should be condemned, not celebrated.

Events like chicken roping cause needless suffering and also undermine our empathy, which is a very important part of our humanity.

Sincerely

Gene Baur
President & Co-Founder, Farm Sanctuary
