Bald Eagle Exploited at U.S. Soccer Game—Take Action!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

Soccer games can sometimes be stressful for players, coaches, and fans, but there’s legit no reason why they should be stressful for animals—yet a bald eagle named Clark was forced to be a spectacle at a chaotic U.S. Women’s National Team match. 😡 Urge the U.S. Soccer Federation to make sure no other wild animals are forced to endure this terror!

Clark was hauled to the match in Washington, D.C., just to be exploited in front of thousands of screaming fans. He was obvi distressed, as he struggled to break free from a handler while fireworks exploded around him. Exploiting a bald eagle—who symbolizes freedom—is ironic af, but Clark and everyone in the stadium were in danger. Wild animals have broken loose from handlers several times, just as Clark tried to do, and birds have crashed while flying in stadiums. 😨

No animal deserves to be traumatized for our entertainment—please use the form below to urge the U.S. Soccer Federation to ban the use of wild animals at events its teams attend. 🚨

I was disappointed to learn that a bald eagle named Clark was used as a prop during a U.S. Women’s National Team match in Washington, D.C. Onlookers watched in horror as Clark attempted to break free while the handler struggled to maintain control of him—a painful display for a bird who is supposed to symbolize freedom. No animal should be exploited like this.

When wild animals are used for events, they’re subjected to the stress of transport, unfamiliar environments, often irregular feeding and watering, and crowds of strangers. Many live in an almost constant state of discomfort and distress, which is only heightened by the loud noises at stadiums and other venues.

The only way for the U.S. Soccer Federation to eliminate the stress these animals endure is to ban their use at events. Please commit to prohibiting wild animals at events the organization’s teams attend. Thank you.
