DESCRIPTION:For the first time in years the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds is 
 considering having a rodeo. Your help is needed to prevent approval of this 
 rodeo at our publicly-owned fairgrounds.\n \nThe proposed rodeo will 
 include roping young calves running at full speed and slamming them to the 
 ground, using pain-inflicting flank straps to force horses and bulls to 
 buck, and other methods of inducing fear, stress, and pain to force animals 
 to perform -- all in the name of entertainment.\n \nPlease help show that 
 kindness and compassion are community values in Santa Cruz County.\n 
 \nWHAT: Your respectful comments needed at the Fairgrounds Board 
 meeting\nWHEN: Tuesday, May 18, at 1:30pm\nWHERE: Santa Cruz County 
 Fairgrounds, 2601 East Lake Ave, Watsonville\n \nYour presence is important 
 and WILL make a difference; every voice counts.\n \nThis rodeo is being 
 planned by the Santa Cruz County Deputy Sheriff's Association (dba "Stars 
 of Justice"), using public resources for the event with the claim that they 
 are raising money for kids.\n \nThe Deputy Sheriff's Association has raised 
 money for many good causes in Santa Cruz over the years, but it's wrong to 
 raise money for a good cause by abusing innocent animals. We need to tell 
 the Deputy Sheriff's Association, and the Fairgrounds Board, that helping 
 kids should be done without abusing animals.\n \nFor more information about 
 this issue, including videos showing the brutality the rodeo industry 
 doesn't want you to see, visit:\nhttp://StopTheRodeo.org\n
