A restraining order against the club organizing these rodeos was reportedly filed by the state’s attorney’s office. Acts of alleged cruelty, especially those documented and shared, demand attention, exploration, and consequent action. Fairness, justice, and animal welfare ought to remain pivotal in these pursuits. It’s time to take action.
