Anheuser-Busch Ends Clydesdale Horse Tail Cutting Practice Following Backlash

Anheuser-Busch InBev has announced that it will no longer cut the tails of its iconic Clydesdale horses used in Budweiser commercials and events, following backlash from animal rights groups. The practice, known as "docking," has been criticized for being a crude mutilation and is illegal in several states and countries. Anheuser-Busch stated that the safety and well-being of the Clydesdales is their top priority. PETA, which conducted an investigation into the practice, celebrated the decision and announced a new partnership between Anheuser-Busch and American Humane, the world's largest certifier of animal welfare practices.
