Budweiser Caves to PETA Demands Regarding Its Famous Clydesdales

Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev is caving to political pressure.

The brewing giant disclosed Wednesday that it had stopped the practice of cutting the tails of its iconic Clydesdale horses.

“The safety and well-being of our beloved Clydesdales is our top priority,” a company spokeswoman told The New York Times.

“The practice of equine tail docking was discontinued earlier this year,” she said.

The American Veterinary Medical Association advocates against subjecting the 🐾Animals to the cosmetic procedure.

The horses — traditionally used to tow carriages — have long been utilized by Anheuser-Busch to market its Budweiser brand.

The company sent a beer wagon with six of the horses to New York following the end of Prohibition in 1933.

The “Budweiser Clydesdales” are used at marketing events and in commercials to this day.
