Is California on its way to banning rodeos? Behind the growing movement to buck the event

• Contrary to the title's suggestion, the article only discusses two counties planning to restrict certain events and devices used on rodeo animals, not ban rodeos entirely.
• Animal rights activists are advocating for these types of bans due to concerns over cruelty to animals.
• Opponents contend that rodeos hold deep-rooted traditions and enjoy widespread popularity. They further caution against government overreach, expressing concerns that the bans, if implemented, could lead to a loss of economic activity.
