"PETA went undercover at Warm Springs Ranch in Missouri (the official breeding facility for the Budweiser Clydesdales), visited Grant’s Farm (where the horses are trained), and talked to handlers who travel with teams of the adult horses. We uncovered that Anheuser-Busch Companies LLC, which produces Budweiser beer, amputates the tailbones of the famed Clydesdales—primarily so they’ll look a certain way as they pull the wagon.Clydesdales, like all horses, need their tails to protect themselves from biting insects—including those that carry West Nile virus and other pathogens. Their tails are also important for balance, mobility, and communication:
“The tail supports and facilitates insect defense, comfort, welfare, reproduction, and disease prevention. It is abusive and inhumane to deprive a horse of their tail. Tail amputation results in a lifetime of impaired balance moving at speed running and turning. It is animal-abusive and medically undignified to deprive a horse of their tail, except in cases of medical necessity.”
—Equine veterinarian Sid Gustafson"
