JORDAN VALLEY, Ore. (AP) – A YouTube video shot by animal rights

activists at a rodeo in eastern Oregon has renewed debate over a

ban on what’s called horse tripping. The Oregonian reports the

event has cowboys lassoing horses around their necks and forelegs.

The video shows horses crashing in the dirt, sometimes on their

snouts and heads. Opponents call it cruel.

 

TENMILE, Ore. (AP) – Some landowners in Southern Oregon say a

proposed natural gas pipeline is frustrating them. The 36-inch

underground Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline would connect a gas hub

in Klamath County and a terminal at Coos Bay. It was originally

designed for importing liquefied natural gas, but now it’s aimed at

exporting newly discovered domestic reserves.
