PETA calls on CU Boulder to stop using live buffalo mascot
Ralphie V, the University of Colorado mascot, runs on the field during the Pac-12 game with Arizona on Oct. 5, 2019. Animal-rights group PETA is calling for the university to retire the live mascot program.
By Katie Langford | For BizWest / Prairie Mountain Publishing PUBLISHED: November 20, 2019 at 10:56 a.m. | UPDATED: November 20, 2019 at 4:53 p.m.People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is calling for University of Colorado Boulder leaders to do away with the tradition of Ralphie, the live buffalo mascot whose wild runs kick off home football games.
In a letter addressed to CU system President Mark Kennedy and posted online Wednesday, the animal rights group described the use of live animal mascots as “a recipe for disaster.”
“Even if animals aren’t physically harmed, it’s hard to imagine that they enjoy being paraded before raucous crowds, entirely out of their element, and treated as if they were toys rather than living, feeling beings with interests, personalities and needs of their own,” wrote Marta Holmberg, senior director of youth programs for PETA. “Being forced into a stadium full of bright lights, exuberantly screaming fans and loud noises is stressful — and can be terrifying — for animals who have no idea what’s going on or why.”
Kennedy has not received a letter from PETA, according to system spokesman Ken McConnellogue.
CU Boulder announced the retirement of Ralphie V on Nov. 12 and is currently searching for her successor. The university has no plans to stop the Ralphie tradition, said spokesman Ryan Huff.
In a statement, Ralphie manager John Graves said Ralphie V had a happy and safe tenure as CU Boulder’s mascot.
“No one cares more about Ralphie’s well-being than the handlers and me,” Graves said. “From the time Ralphie V was 6 months old, I’ve been by her side nearly every day for the past 13 years. I am confident she is happy and healthy. That will continue in the years ahead at her ranch alongside the next Ralphie.”
CU Boulder has used a live animal mascot since 1967, Graves said, which includes a track record of safety and plenty of precautions — including the recent decision to retire Ralphie V after she started becoming less responsive to cues from her handlers.
“Ralphie enjoys the spotlight as the queen of our campus and she gets better care than most buffalo,” Graves said. “We are now in the process of finding Ralphie VI, and that will require months of training for her and the handlers to ensure we continue this tradition in a safe and healthy way.”
PETA has a history of protesting any live animal mascot, including the University of Georgia’s bulldog, Uga, and Louisiana State University’s Bengal-Siberian tiger, Mike.
Boulder resident Jennifer Rodehaver said ending the Ralphie program was her first thought after hearing Ralphie V was retiring.
“The whole idea of using animals for entertainment is really abhorrent to me,” she said. “It has to do with a sort of arrogance humans have that they can own another creature and train it to do tricks or confine it, to take away that animal’s rights to just be, to exist as their masters of their own destiny.”

Reviews for "Explore the Enchanting World of Fairy Magic Crystal Healing"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with my experience at the Fairy Magic Crystal Shop. The staff seemed disinterested and were not very helpful in answering my questions about the crystals. The selection was also quite limited, and I was hoping to find something more unique and special. Overall, the atmosphere was lackluster and I left feeling like I wasted my time visiting this shop.
2. Mark - 1 star - I can honestly say that Fairy Magic Crystal Shop was the worst crystal shop I have ever been to. The prices were outrageously high for the quality of the crystals they had. The staff was rude and unhelpful, making me feel unwelcome. It was also hard to find parking nearby, which added to the overall negative experience. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else for your crystal needs.
3. Amanda - 2 stars - The Fairy Magic Crystal Shop did not live up to the hype for me. The crystals were not as vibrant and beautiful as I expected, and the prices were much higher than other shops I have been to. The layout of the shop was also confusing, making it difficult to navigate and find what I was looking for. I left feeling underwhelmed and regretful that I wasted my time and money at this shop.
4. Daniel - 1 star - My visit to Fairy Magic Crystal Shop was a complete waste of time. The crystals they had were dusty and poorly displayed, making it hard to see the true beauty of each piece. The staff seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves than assisting customers. I left without making a purchase and I will not be returning to this lackluster shop in the future.
5. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Fairy Magic Crystal Shop, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The crystals were overpriced and I could find similar or better quality crystals for much cheaper at other shops. The staff was not very knowledgeable and couldn't provide me with the information I was seeking about the healing properties of the crystals. Overall, I was disappointed with my experience and would not recommend this shop to others.
