Perhaps if the agencies were forced to take action (and publicly pilloried if they fail to do so.), maybe some changes would occur regarding cruelty etc.? I think boycots should be considered regarding media sponsors, and I will continue to try and educate folks. With the $ and local fame involved with participants, I think it unlikely they will change. The arbitrary and capricious ways that Texas and other states apply to animals/wildlife issues makes no sense, this activity you document so well would simply not be tolerated with almost any other animal, and that should be a major point when confronting agencies.
I think serious pressure should be brought to bear on the various agencies who are failing to enforce existing laws regarding animal cruelty, health & safety and possibly food safety laws. Also, I wish you luck and every success in taking on this established and bizarre cultural phenomenon. Preachin' to the Choir? I tend to agree with you, but I wonder if applying logic to this emotion, cultural and financial based activity will be effective? It has been a frequent topic of discussion herein.
