No deaths, serious injuries to animals at Calgary Stampede rodeo this year
CALGARY — No animals died or were seriously injured during the Calgary Stampede this year.
Stampede spokeswoman Kristina Barnes says changes made to the track and to barrel positions for the chuckwagon races made the difference.
Barnes says there were no injuries in other rodeo events either and the animals left with a clean bill of health.
The last time no animals died or were seriously injured was in 2003.
