DESCRIPTION:On Sep 20th, the Alameda Board of Supervisors will be discussing an 
 ordinance to ban some of the cruelest practices at the rodeo. We need your 
 help in making the animals voices heard. There will be a demonstration with 
 speak outs, signs, chanting, and a banner from 8am-9am. After the rally we 
 will attend the board meeting to give public comment in support of the 
 ordinance.\n\nThe proposed ordinance does several things to protect animals 
 used in rodeos. It outlaws the "flank strap," a painful strap that cuts 
 into the groin region of bulls and horses, to make them buck from 
 excruciating agony. It will ban jerk down calf-roping that flips calves 
 over by their necks slamming them into the ground. It would also ban the 
 ‘Wild Cow Milking’ event in which lactating mother cows are wrangled 
 and milked solely for entertainment. This ordinance would severely inhibit 
 the rodeo and would potentially make it impossible for them to 
 operate.\nThe last hearing on Aug 9th in which this ordinance was discussed 
 had a large number of in person rodeo advocates. We need to show up in 
 person to counteract this.\n\nYou can help out RIGHT NOW by contacting the 
 parties below. This can be done in conjunction with attending in
