empfänger: Race organisers/Moffat Council, United Kingdom
On 13th August, naturally timid and quiet sheep will be made to race against each other through the streets of Moffat, Scotland, with teddy bears strapped to their backs.
This is exploitative, degrading and frightening for the sheep, as crowds will be lining the streets, cheering and shouting. Animals are not ours to use for entertainment.
Please sign my petition to tell the organisers to cancel this event!
UPDATE: I have sent a letter to Moffat Council requesting the race be cancelled, and attached a copy of the letter that Peta wrote to them and a copy of the petition at nearly 80,000. I am awaiting their response.
Thank you all for signing! I am awaiting a response from Moffat Council. In the meantime, please check out the official video for the campaign song "I'm The Lamb". Please like and share! Let's get this viral! We want to shame the council into cancelling the sheep race:
