Cheyenne, WY June 27th, 2024 — As new Wyoming license plates begin to hit the road, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is urging Wyoming lawmakers to get rid of the Bucking Horse and Rider logo on Wyoming license plates.

In a letter to legislators, PETA suggested alternative license plate designs, saying, “You could, for example, replace this old silhouette with one of a majestic horse, like those who gallop across Wyoming, or with a triceratops, the first dinosaur whose bones were excavated in the state and who is now the state dinosaur. Or if you continue to promote rodeos, we ask that your license plates at least more accurately reflect the cruelty that animals exploited for entertainment endure with a silhouette of a bloody spur.”

The Bucking Horse and Rider logo has been used on Wyoming license plates since 1936, and the usage of the logo can be traced all the way back to 1918.

There’s been no response yet from members of the Wyoming legislature, but one would think that the legendary logo will be around for decades to come.

Wyoming just wouldn’t be the same without Steamboat.
