About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

GEICO Insurance is partnering with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).

In a press release, GEICO Vice President, Ted Ward, said: "We are proud to be partnering with the PRCA and the exciting world of ProRodeo." Rodeos aren't exciting, they're exhibitions of animal cruelty, where animals are prodded, shocked, and spurred through events that cause them stress and physical injury.

Urge GEICO to stop sponsoring animal cruelty.

Stop Supporting Animal Cruelty: End GEICO's PRCA Partnership

Dear Mr. Nicely,

I was dismayed to learn about GEICO's partnership with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

In a press release, GEICO Vice President, Ted Ward, said: "We are proud to be partnering with the PRCA and the exciting world of ProRodeo." Rodeos aren't exciting, they're exhibitions of animal cruelty, where animals are prodded, shocked, and spurred through events that cause stress and physical injury to the animals. It's surprising that a company which has adopted an animal as its mascot in advertising is proud to condone the mistreatment of animals.

I urge you to take a stand against animal cruelty and immediately end GEICO's partnership with PRCA.

Thank you.
