Dear Governor Newsom and Attorney-General Becerra,
California has much to be admired for by the rest of the country and worldwide.
I hope very much that you will now do the right thing by condemning, punishing and enforcing the banning of rodeo cruelty, which has reached a wrenching new low in the bull-baiting reported, documented and now taken to court by Showing Animals Respect and Kindness.
Prompt, prominent and direct attention to this abomination will be greatly appreciated everywhere and another welcome sign of progressiveness in California.
Sincerely,
Stevan Harnad
