Meet in front of MSG on Eighth Avenue.
Sadly, we must once again protest the vile annual three-day bull riding event hosted by MSG.
The 1.5 hour protests are as follows:
FRIDAY, Jan. 3 - protest to start at 6:15 (event starts at 7:45);
SATURDAY, Jan. 4 - protest to start at 6:15 (event starts at 7:45).
We understand protesting for three days straight at this emotionally draining event is difficult -- so this year, the Sunday protest is NOT DEFINITE. We will play it by ear, and see how everyone feels.
For now, only FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE CONFIRMED PROTESTS.
If we are to proceed on Sunday, Jan. 5, the protest would start at 1:15 (event starts at 2:45).

Bulls are normally docile animals -- they do not normally "buck". They are provoked using unnatural methods, in order to make them "perform". Moreover, they are trucked across the country, from arena to arena, and likely terrified in large arenas with screaming crowds, bright lights (sometimes even fireworks), and loud booming sound effects and music. Nothing is normal to them about this. This is animal exploitation, pure and simple. PBR and MSG, find some other way to make money, that doesn't involve abusing others.
