It's Rodeo week in Redding and that means bulls and bucking broncos along with community activities celebrating the western way of life, including mock holdups, a community pancake breakfast and guys with yellow shirts and green bandanas.
But Janel Scott has an alternate message for fans of ropin' and ridin'.
The Redding woman wants the Redding Rodeo to stop. She says the annual competition and celebration of western heritage is cruel to animals.
"Somebody's got to take a stand for these animals. Because the closer it gets, the more emotional I get about it, because it's just heinous," she said. "What they do to those animals, you know, and I get really super emotional about it."
