Animal Rights Group Ready to Explain
KGWN-TV - 4/14/2008
In a press release from the group "Showing Animals Respect and Kindness" also known as "Shark" they have set up a meeting on Wednesday to show and explain a video they provided the rock band "MatchBox Twenty" that caused the band to back out of their 2008 Cheyenne Frontier Days concert.

Here is the press release verbatim from "Shark."

Although Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo officials have expressed bewilderment over the Matchbox Twenty cancellation, due to what the band referred to as "mistreatment of animals", the reasons are easily found in graphic video documentation from the 2007 CFD Rodeo.

CFD Rodeo officials and Cheyenne city officials are invited to a press conference to review this video documentation. Copies of the video will be provided to the media.

SHARK will also release a list of humane recommendations for the CFD Rodeo.

SHARK's Press Conference will be at the Laramie County Library (in the Willow Room) on 2800 Central Avenue in Cheyenne, Wyoming on Wednesday, April 16, 2008, 10:15 am – 12:00 noon.

Showing Animals Respect and Kindness will treat all attending officials with respect and consideration. SHARK is ready and willing to work with all concerned to make CFD Rodeo a more humane event. SHARK will open the meeting up from 11:30 am until noon to answer questions from the public.
