If you all know people in New York or the First Frontier Circuit, please alert them to this. A bill has been introduced in the New York State assembly that would effectively ban rodeo in any form.
Calling Ag Chairwoman Lupardo’s number may be your best bet. We got this stopped last year, but it’s back - and will continue to be back every year.
The following link is Chairwoman Lipardo’s information. I worked with her office last year, so if you contact her, be respectful, her staff is not animal rights as far as I know.

Linda Rosenthal introduced the bill again. Before contacting her, know she is an animal rights activist and you’re probably wasting your time.
Here is the link to the actual bill:
