The Disney+ streaming service is planning on making a movie glorifying animal abuse at rodeos. SHARK has formed a coalition to stand against this movie.
The movie, Aloha Rodeo, will glorify steer roping, the cruelest and deadliest event in rodeo, and the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, which has long held the dubious distinction of being among the world’s most brutal and deadly rodeos.
SHARK has uploaded the first of a series of videos to expose Disney’s plan to promote what amounts to the American version of bullfighting.

As of January 2021, these locations of cruel, illegal cockfights have been reported to the State Police, and are being monitored by SHARK investigators. We expect that the criminal animal abusers running these operations will nevertheless try to restart their operations at some point. Please thank the state police in advance for doing their job by shutting these operations down, and encourage the relevant county sheriff's offices to do their part also (contact info at bottom of page).
