San Diego City Council Considers Ban on Rodeos After Petco Park Event

A council member in San Diego is proposing a citywide ban on rodeos following the recent hosting of the first rodeo at Petco Park since the 1980s, citing concerns about animal cruelty. This decision comes after protests and unsuccessful lobbying to cancel the event last fall. While local rodeo advocates view the proposed ban as an attack on cultural traditions, the San Diego Humane Society has endorsed the move, emphasizing that entertainment should not compromise animal well-being. The proposed ban is set to be introduced at an upcoming meeting of the city council's Land Use and Housing Committee, with a hearing on a related lawsuit scheduled for February 15.

Padres' Machado returns but struggles in loss to Cubs, Odor injured.

The San Diego Padres lost 2-1 to the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park, continuing their inconsistent form. The Padres have scored in double digits three times this season outside of Mexico City, and the first two times, they were shut out in their next game. Rougned Odor had half the Padres’ hits and scored their only run, but his fine season is on hold as he pulled up with a left groin strain. The Padres are just not good at Petco Park, falling to 10-16 there this season.
