DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds is considering having a rodeo. \n\nYour help 
 is urgently 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\nin 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\n\nWHEN: Tuesday, June 15, at 
 1:30pm \n\nWHERE: Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, 2601 East Lake Ave, 
 Watsonville\n\nYour presence is important and WILL make a difference; every 
 voice counts. This 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, including videos showing the brutality 
 the rodeo industry doesn't want you to see, visit:
