on the city of San Diego and Petco Park to ban the San Diego Rodeo from taking place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>In September, Petco Park announced it will host its first-ever rodeo at the ballpark next year because of what it says are animal cruelty concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>The San Diego Democratic Central Committee is pressuring city leaders to cancel the upcoming rodeo at Petco Park.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re calling on the mayor to not approve this as a special event and to stop repeating the rodeo\u2019s false talking points about it,\u201d Bryan Pease, an elected member of the county party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>Pease says democratic representatives are asking the city council and Mayor Todd Gloria to ban what they say are torture devices used at rodeos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>\u201cThe devices that we\u2019re talking about include electric prods, shocking devices, flank or bucking straps, wired tie downs, sharpened or fixed spurs, and rowels,\u201d said Pease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section

treated and what they\u2019re subjected to its certainly not fun for the animal,\u201d added Pease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>The Padres say the group hosting the event has assured them that the safety and well-being of the contestants and livestock are of the utmost importance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>The Padres told CBS in a statement:\u00a0<em>\u201cWe have been assured by the group that is hosting this event that the safety, security and well-being of the contestants and livestock of the San Diego Rodeo are of the utmost importance. \u00a0They are event professionals who are experts in livestock handling and care, as well as pre-event, event and post-event care for the contestants. \u00a0Animal welfare is a major ongoing initiative of the professional sport of rodeo and the San Diego Rodeo, and the event hosts pledge to continue the strict
