On Tuesday, rodeo lovers and animal welfare advocates descended on downtown Los Angeles to argue for and against a draft ordinance that would ban the hooved spectacles within the city.
The thing is — the ordinance wasn't even on the agenda.
In 2023, the city council voted unanimously to support the drafting of a ban by the city attorney.
Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, the chair of the Arts, Parks, Libraries, and Community Enrichment Committee — which oversees rodeos — has yet to introduce the ordinance.
