and/or barriers between the animal and the general viewing public so as to assure <br /> the safety of animals and the public."); See In re: Sam Mazzola, , Agric. Dec. <br /> 2009 WL 4099115 (U.S.D.A. 2009). Given the inherently dangerous nature of these <br /> events and the evidence of injuries to participants from past events, we are highly <br /> skeptical that they could ever comply with the requirements of the AWA and <br /> implementing regulations as the events are presently structured. <br /> Conclusion <br /> As shown above, "bull running" events are subject to regulation under the <br /> AWA and any person or company that wishes to hold such an event must possess a <br /> valid Class C license from USDA, and will likely have to alter the nature of the <br /> event in order to comply with the licensing requirements and relevant regulations. <br /> Given the particularly dangerous nature of these events, The HSUS urges USDA to <br /> investigate this matter as soon as possible. We are available to assist as needed. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Aar� .
