Anheuser-Busch has agreed to stop amputating the tails off Budweiser’s iconic Clydesdale horses after animal-rights group PETA bashed the brewer for the unethical practice.
PETA said that tail docking prevents horses from communicating with each other or protecting itself from biting insects. Horses’ tails are also reportedly vital to their balance.Other hidden-camera clips showed Budweiser staffers insisting that the tails aren’t docked, but rather “just trimmed weekly.”“They still have their tails. It’s just, they trim the hair,” one worker said.
Horsetail docking is illegal in 10 US states — including Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Washington — as well as countries such as Denmark, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and Belgium, where Anheuser-Busch’s corporate parent AB InBev is based.that Budweiser stopped amputating the horses’ tails this year, though it didn’t offer a time frame.
PETA’s investigation revealed that Budweiser removed the Clydesdales’ tails with a scalpel or with a tight band that cuts off the blood flow, causing the tail to die off.Representatives for Anheuser-Busch did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
