Mexican rodeo (charreada) on TV this Friday, May 5 - KTEH TV, Channel 54, 7:00pm

[Guest guest]

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

 

On Friday, May 5, at 7:00 p.m. (Cinco de Mayo), KTEH-TV - San Jose

(Channel 54) reportedly will be screening a half-hour documentary called

" La Charreada, " about the Mexican-style rodeo. It's worth copying for

future reference. Although horse tripping (a standard charreada event)

has been outlawed in California (and six other states), the brutal

" steer tailing " event still goes on here. Worse, charreadas are not

covered by the California rodeo law (Penal Code 596.7). This must change.

 

Please forward this e-mail to interested parties.

 

All state legislators may be written c/o The State Capitol, Sacramento,

CA 95814.

 

Cheers,

Eric Mills, coordinator
