OK, be careful because this is a truly awful video. The point being that Coca Cola sponsor dreadful cruelty in the US in the form of rodeo.

Do you think we could mobilise the might of Mumsnet to get some action taken about this? There is more information here

This is the email of Muhtar Kent, President and CEO of the company.

I'd like to go on to deal with the wider issue of rodeo cruelty and wild horse racing by putting pressure on the US president, but thought that maybe some action with Coca Cola would be a start?

What do you think? Should I put something in Chat?

I'm with Callisto. I'm also desensitised to a lot of things (mostly human stuff), but it doesn't mean I want to watch it.

I watched Kill it Cut it Use it last night for the first time which was about pigs; all humanely done, but still unpleasant.

As I remember, MLP posted this in AIBU at the same time as it was posted here. She got very little reaction apart from a couple of people attacking her along the lines of "there are more important things to worry about" and "understanding other people's cultures". Maybe it's worth trying again. People make enough fuss about Nestle.

Hmmm... thought that might have been the case - good point re. possible retry, though.
