Attempt to Ban Rodeo in LA Delayed Due to Major Concerns About Targeting Communities of Color

Rodeo isn't dead in Los Angeles
just yet, despite some incorrect reports.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝.

It was apparent in Mr. Bloomenfield's demeanor and pleads to the committee during the council debate, he didn't want the ordinance returning to committee for further discussion, which also grants input by stakeholders, an option that previously had been withheld from the rodeo and Charriera communities.

The immense gathering and response by a diverse and dedicated community to save rodeo, had a significant impact on City Council members, swaying their decision to unanimously vote to pass the ammended ordinance which inturn, sends it back to the city attorney for a

re-draft and committee vote.

Although the ordinance still hasn't been stopped, this is a win for the rodeo industry and an opportunity for a seat at the table and our voices to be heard.

L.A. City Councilman Bob Blumenfield  Flip Flops Again On His Misguided Mission to Ban Rodeo

The L.A. City Council Stands Poised To Ban Rodeos By Banning Specific Events At The Heart Of The Sport

From the beginning, Councilman Bob Blumenfield has led the animal-extremist backed attack on western heritage, flip-flopping all along the way. But now, his intentions are perfectly clear. What started with an ordinance to ban certain rodeo equipment has been revealed as a  direct assault on rodeo banning,  bull riding, bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, and similar events and activities.
