Calgary Stampede Talks Animal Care Ahead of Controversial Events

  • The Calgary Stampede, a 10-day event from July 4 to 13 in Calgary, includes rodeo and chuckwagon races with ongoing animal welfare concerns.
  • Animal rights groups oppose the rodeo events due to documented deaths, including four last year and at least 109 since 1986, while reports differ on causes including heat and stress.
  • Stampede officials and University of Calgary researchers partner this year to study animal health by fitting some horses with electrocardiograms and providing shade for bulls and broncos.
  • Dr. Renaud Lguillette described a risk rating system using green, orange, and red lights for horses, noting drivers are responsive and red-light horses trigger discussions to avoid cardiac incidents.
  • Despite safety research and care improvements, Vancouver Humane Society spokesperson Chantelle Archambault warned that another animal death at the Stampede is inevitable and urged boycotting rodeo and races.
