Extremist Groups Are Targeting Equipment
Used By The Western Sports Industry.
A number of extremist groups are proposing the banning of western sports equipment such as ropes, spurs, bits, and flank straps in order to pass legislation in their respective cities.
Extremists' Mentality Has Been Plainly Stated.
Historically, animal extremist-based legislation initiates in highly populous, urban areas, where there is a vast disconnect between people and animals and it’s therefore easier to promote the animal extremist agenda. States like California, Florida, and New York are somewhat of “canaries in the coal mine” for revealing animal extremist campaigns.
Bills And Ordinances Target Sectors Of the Western Sports Industry To Set Precedents.
Animal rights activists have a specific goal in mind: Ending the use of animals by humans for any reason. This includes for food, labor, entertainment and exhibitions such as rodeo, bull riding, horse racing, Charreria and similar events.
Grazing Rights Are Being Threatened.
Extremist Groups seek to illegally eliminate livestock grazing on federally managed lands.
The Future Of Our Industry Depends On Our Youth Programs.
Animal Activist organizations use young people to drive their mission in eliminating animal agriculture. One of their tactics is vilifying youngsters for their involvement in organizations like 4H and FFA. We can not ignore this type of behavior exhibited by animal-rights groups. United, we can protect these cherished institutions so our kids can continue to build life skills by leading hands-on projects in agriculture. It helps them build confidence, independence, resilience, and compassion.
Cultural Traditions Are Being Threatened By The Animal Rights Groups Promoted Legislation.
We Support The Working Animal Protection Act.
The Working Animal Protection Act (WAPA) would prohibit an outright ban on any legal animal enterprise utilizing working animals in ranching, service, entertainment, transportation, exhibition, and education.
Multiple Disciplines Are Being Targeted.
Extremist groups have been targeting individual sectors of the western sports industry for decades. As an industry, we need to show a united front to protect ourselves and the true welfare of these animals we hold so dearly.

The Rise of Animal & Environmental Extremism
For far too long, extremist groups have had undue influence on the public regarding agriculture and our Western ways of life. It’s time to take back the narrative.
