Reader input: Time to put rodeo out to pasture
Re: "Folsom Pro Rodeo says animal welfare a top priority" (Folsom Telegraph, June 28, page A1):. How many animals must suffer and die before rodeo is put out to pasture?. Countless animals have paid with their lives to satisfy people’s desire to play cowboy. Cattle are zapped with electric hotshots so they'll charge out of the chute, calves have their necks twisted as they are violently slammed into the ground, and horses are viciously spurred into bucking. Animals have suffered broken backs and necks, heart attacks and aneurysms.

The 168-team Boys Cali Live '24 June Scholastic Live Period event in Roseville, Calif. concluded on Sunday with first place pool finishers playing another first place finisher in a de-facto championship game.
