Welcome to Ban San Diego Rodeos, where we stand together to ban cruel practices in rodeos. Together, we can make a difference.
The Padres have announced their 3rd annual rodeo at Petco Park — despite the fact that animals have suffered and died at both of the past two events. In 2024, a terrified horse crashed head-first into a steel railing and lay twitching on the ground. Activists believe he is dead. In 2025, an almost 11-months-pregnant horse just days from giving birth, was forced to buck, collapsed afterward, and died.
These tragedies are not accidents — they are the inevitable result of a cruel spectacle that prioritizes entertainment over animal welfare. Hosting such events normalizes violence toward animals in our community. Petco Park should be a place for sports and family fun, not a stage for animal abuse. Please take action to end rodeo animal cruelty by supporting a ban on rodeos in San Diego.
