Shining a Light (Literally) on Animal Abuse

For the fourth year (sigh), NHARL had vegan boots on the ground at the SNHU Arena in Manchester to protest the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) tour.

Despite snow and frigid temperatures, the League led two impactful demonstrations before each scheduled show, Friday, Dec. 20, and Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024.

New this year, we projected an anti-bull riding message onto the SNHU arena during the Friday night show.

Arena management was not pleased and called in the Manchester Police.

See our press coverage on Manchester Ink for details!

On Saturday night, we left the projector home and brought back the video of bulls getting hurt at PBR events, which played on a loop as eventgoers walked past.

While most ticketholders were not visibly receptive to the message that bull riding is animal abuse, we succeeded in handing out 100 flyers (shown below), reinforcing the fact the bull riding isn’t fun for everyone.
