UPDATE: RodeoHouston officials have responded to the online petition. You can read the original story below.

More than 13,000 people have signed a petition asking Cardi B not to play RodeoHouston. But it's not because of her music.

The Care2 petition asks the Grammy-winning rapper to withdraw because of RodeoHouston's treatment of animals.

GIRL POWER: Kaci, Cardi and Gaga rule the Grammys

"Horrible news, animal lovers: Cardi B is headlining an event chock-full of animal abuse: the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo," it begins.

"Cardi B has 11 dogs, that's how much she loves animals. She may not know all the ways animals are being abused to make this Houston event go on though. That's why it's up to us, her fans, to ask her not to use her name and popularity to support such gruesome behavior."

The petition criticizes the calf scramble and other rodeo events. A cursory search doesn't turn up petitions asking any other performers to step down.

Cardi B is scheduled to perform March 1 at RodeoHouston. The show is sold out, so don't expect her to cancel anything. She became the first solo female to win the best rap album Grammy during Sunday's ceremony.
