91裸聊视频淣o animal should be exposed to electric shocks just to make them perform for a crowd,91裸聊视频� said VHS spokesperson Peter Fricker in a news release.
A complaint about the alleged use of this hand-held device on bulls at the rodeo is forthcoming, he said.
91裸聊视频淩odeo animals already suffer from being roped, spurred and goaded into performing,91裸聊视频� Fricker said. 91裸聊视频淣ow they have to endure electric shocks as well?91裸聊视频�
Photos of what appears to be a 91裸聊视频淗ot-Shot91裸聊视频� or similar electronic cattle prod, were taken as they were being used during the bull-riding event at the Chilliwack Fair.
Chilliwack and District Agricultural Society will be looking into this allegation, said president Cathy Oss in an email on Thursday, but added that no official complaint had yet been received from VHS.
91裸聊视频淭he Chilliwack Fair has not received any communication from the Vancouver Humane Society, and was unaware of the allegations,91裸聊视频� Oss said. 91裸聊视频淲e do not know the specific BCRA rules about use of this device.91裸聊视频�
Electric prods should only be used to assist with the 91裸聊视频渕ovement91裸聊视频� of cattle when animal/human safety is at risk, or 91裸聊视频渁s a last resort91裸聊视频� when humane alternatives have failed, and only when they have a 91裸聊视频渃lear path to move,91裸聊视频� according to the National Farm Animal Care Council code of practice.
In other words, they shouldn91裸聊视频檛 be used when the animal is loaded in a closed chute.
