LOS ANGELES, California — If every rodeo was a living body part representing our community, HOW many parts can we cut off and still thrive?
In a BAD setting of precedent, LA City Council just succumbed to public pressure without attempting to investigate themselves and banned rodeo.
Now, typing 'CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO FALL IN TO THE OCEAN' won't help the snowball from becoming an avalanche. MORE intelligent, compassionate voices showing our communities LOVE for our animals will.

Act. Don't REact.
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to ban rodeo events within city limits. Supporters say some rodeo practices put animals under stress and can cause harm for the sake of entertainment.
City officials said the vote reflects changing community standards on animal welfare. Advocates believe the ban responds to concerns about the physical strain and psychological stress animals may face during certain rodeo activities.
This vote places Los Angeles among major cities rethinking traditional entertainment under modern animal welfare standards. The city is expected to set implementation details and enforcement rules through formal ordinances.
