Many thanks to Dylan Forest and ANIMAL PEOPLE FORUM for helping to bring rodeo issues to the fore. America seems on the brink of a sea change regarding public attitudes about the use of animals in so-called “entertainment.” Witness the recent ban on orca shows at SeaWorld, the demise of the Ringling Bros. Circus; bans on wild animal acts in Hawaii, New Jersey & California; 2018 ban on greyhound racing in Florida via ballot initiative; the current controversy over horse racing, with 2,000+ fatalities on American tracks every year….Could rodeo be next? Only this week (October 29), the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in California passed a ban on the rodeo’s popular “mutton busting” event, in which young children, often in tears, are coerced into riding terrified sheep, dangerous for all concerned. Here’s hoping others will follow suit.
Legislation should be submitted every year in every state to outlaw rodeo’s inherent cruelties. Most legislators decide in November upon which bills to carry the following year. So let your reps hear from you! Now’s the time. Thanks for caring.
