PETA Disrupts Budweiser Clydesdale Event, Alleges Horse Abuse

Animal rights group PETA staged a peaceful protest at a Budweiser Clydesdale event in Michigan, accusing the beer company of inhumanely altering the horses by amputating a portion of their tailbones. The protesters held signs and pictures of horse heads, claiming that the procedure is traumatizing and painful for the horses, affecting their balance and communication. The event organizers blocked the protesters, and police responded to maintain order. The event ended an hour earlier due to the protest. Tail docking is prohibited in several states and European countries, and PETA hopes to see the practice stopped.
