The Los Angeles City Council's unanimous vote towards banning harmful rodeo events, such as bull riding and calf roping, is a great step forward for animal rights in California. Rodeos can cause calves to have punctured lungs, internal organ damage, ripped tendons, torn ligaments, snapped necks, and agonizing deaths. As the law moves towards finalization, it is crucial to not only support its implementation in Los Angeles but also to extend this call for compassion to the entire state of California.
Sign this petition to encourage the Los Angeles City Council to promptly finalize the rodeo ban ordinance and to urge the California State Legislature to consider a similar statewide ban on inhumane rodeo practices.
Rodeos, with their use of electric prods, flank straps, and spurs, inflict unnecessary pain and suffering on animals, often leading to severe injuries and death. This form of entertainment is in direct conflict with the values of compassion and animal welfare.
The initiative highlights the need to protect animals from cruelty and exploitation. Los Angeles is poised to set a precedent for the rest of California, and ultimately, the nation, in ending the inhumane treatment of animals in rodeos.
Sign the petition to support the passage of Los Angeles' rodeo ban ordinance and to call upon California's lawmakers to enact a comprehensive ban on these cruel practices across the state.
