Injury/death of rodeo bull at California State Fair, 8/29/04 - seeking video

[Guest guest]

Saturday, September 18

 

Hello, all -

 

A rodeo bull was injured/euthanized at the August 29, 2004 State Fair in

Sacramento (Cal Expo) during the " Cowboy Teeter Totter " event. This

has been confirmed by both the on-site veterinarian and the State Fair

management.

 

But there're conflicting reports re the nature of the injury, and how it

happened.

 

Reportedly, a number of people in the audience that evening (a Sunday)

had video cameras. I'm looking for footage of the incident. Were you

there that night, or know anyone who was? Please alert your membership

and spies, and forward any info you have.

 

Thanks.

Pee Ess - On a brighter note, a junior rodeo planned for Novato this

weekend was cancelled, thanks to the Marin Humane Society and their

stance on calf roping. (See 9/18 Marin INDEPENDENT-JOURNAL.) Letters?

 

And lastly, the October issue of FIELD AND STREAM, has an article on

Kerry and Bush. Should be worth some Letters to the Editor, too.
