Rodeos or RodeNOs - Bethany Wolfe 3rd pd

summary:
Supporting and Promoting Ethics for the Animal Kingdom Tuscon (SPEAK Tuscon), an animal rights group, led a rally on the last day of the Tuscon Rodeo. By picketing, this group hopes to gain awareness for the injustice and cruelty within rodeos. However, general managers claim that they follow specific livestock care protocol and have a vet on-site.
analysis:
In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was established for the care of livestock, yet animal cruelty still exists and is popular in our Ameican "traditions" such as rodeos. Hopefully, the SPEAK Tuscon's cause gains more awareness and can either work to edit current livestock laws or end the event.
