Let them hear from you! Possibilities: on-site rodeo veterinarians; ban "steer tailing" and tie-down calf roping; ban nonsensical rodeo events such as "wild cow milking," "mutton busting," and all animal "scrambles." Ban the importation of non-native frogs and turtles for the live animal food markets; ban glue traps--they're non-selective and inhumane.
