14 DAY TRIAL // Shania Twain is scheduled to perform at the Calgary Stampede in Alberta, Canada this coming July, and animal rights activists are anything but happy about it.
This annual event involves a rodeo, which is why some say that it is one of Canada's most gruesome displays of cruelty towards animals.
Presently, Shania Twain is a vegetarian. What's more, she has many times said that she very much likes horses. Hence, animal rights activists are having trouble understanding why the singer would like to take part in this event.
Hoping to convince her to cancel this performance, animal rights activists have started an online petition asking that Shania reconsider her decision to sing at the Calgary Stampede.
“This is one of the worst events in Canada, where animal abuse is tolerated, and encouraged,” the animal rights activists say.
“If Twain performs at the Stampede, it will give people the illusion that this event is animal friendly, as she claims to be a vegetarian, and love horses,” they add.
The petition has until now been signed by over 730 people, and needs to gain a total of 2,000 supporters until February 28.
