October 26, 2012 Updated: September 19, 2018

On October 30th, six 2000-pound bulls will run through the streets of Toronto to mark the opening of the 2012 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. All animals exhibited at the Winter Fair, including these bulls, will be forced to participate in rodeo activities and will be put through the stress of being paraded around auction rings, and being chased by “cowboys” up Bay Street in downtown Toronto.
