How about fuck no.Karen

If you create smoke, make sure you don’t do it near Commissioner Lehman’s pretty house in Arcata Heights.

I am thinking of someone?

If we’re cracking down on nuisances, I request the City of Arcata do an abatement on the noxious and invasive cape weed on the front lawn of City Hall. Then …

Who are you?

It’s not about landlords. It’s about Arcatans who want to keep their neighborhoods real.

Thoughtless response. This is about “cleaning up” Arcata to attract outside money. Don’t delude yourself into thinking there is actually some sort of altruism going on here. I mean, it’s …

Pry my clothes line out of my cold, dead fingers. WTF Arcata? Getting ready for the arrival of Marin? Don’t delude yourself. That said, the city is clearly gearing up …

The performing sea lions are just another type of animal cruelty. Sure, the seals survived the fair, but look up Sea Lion Splash and all of their violations of the …

Definitely never going to the County Fair again. Covering your asses with statements about following protocols is shameful.

Statements from the groups invested in having rodeos again saying protocols were followed? Okayyyyyy. Fuck that. I don’t give a shit what they say. I want to hear from an …

Not at all! Thank you for writing, and I did find a good Etter story to run on Saturday.

So the city of the Arcata wants to act like an actual functioning government, took them long enough.

…Basically allowing nosy, passive-aggressive neighbors and walk-by busybodies to weaponize code enforcement. Way to go Arcata, now we can become just like every suburban hellhole in SoCal….

Miranda can completely defend himself? He just needs to point at the Fair Board. Their horse deaths per minute ratio is outrages.

One horse is a freak accident. Two within minutes of each other? There is a problem.

So right. Athletes have choices. Animals are conditioned to respond by manipulating their natural behaviors. As a child in Marysville I attended Flying U rodeos every year and loved it. …

Absent landlords who fail to secure their properties are hardly “needing help”. A fine is a perfect penalty for property owners who create attractive nuisances on their property and then …

Sorry to go off topic, but does anyone know if the area affected by the fire in Arcata has been all cleaned up? I would like to know so I …

Thank you. I used to spend a lot of time in the Humboldt History room facing the bay upstairs in the Eureka library. Most likely I ran across it there. …

An interesting mix of sentimentalism, anthropomorphism, and cultural chauvinism.

This comment was about hunting, not rodeo. But yeah, I think there’s some hypocrisy among people who eat industrial meat and complain about horse racing and rodeo. I also think …

Motorsports have been effectively banned in Ferndale. Never Again!

What you said is the rodeo should be banned, not merely that you dislike it.

I made the comparison based on the claim. Maybe your standard or claim needs caveats, conditions, or clarifying statements.

Just because they don’t break their legs or die frequently does not make it ok. The horses and calves do not enjoy this - and why do people enjoy watching …

Sorry, not sure how it escaped you, but my point is the irony.To further clarify, if irony is not in the wheelhouse, I can give an anecdote. When I was …

My horses are treated extremely well - the equivalent of letting the dogs sleep on the furniture (which my dogs do). We practice resistance free riding. YOU are the one …

I own horses - I understand how this all works. The point is, the horses don’t like it one bit - and that makes it wrong. And the calves….? Ever …
