Ban events that cause animals stress, fear & risk of injury & death

The Issue

The Luxton Pro Rodeo holds events that are cruel to animals. The City of Langford and Luxton Pro Rodeo need to follow other jurisdictions and rodeos and ban calf roping, steer wrestling, team roping and the use of flank straps, caustic ointments, electric prods/shocking devices and forcible handling techniques. These events cause stress, pain, anxiety and risk of injury and death. We need to evolve past finding this acceptable and entertaining.
