TO THIS HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES HEREIN, AND THEIR 

RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

Plaintiffs Animal Legal Defense Fund (“ALDF”) and People for the Ethical Treatment of 

Animals, Inc. (“PETA”) and Defendants, The Great Bull Run, LLC (“GBR”) and Lone Star 

Rodeo, LLC (“Lone Star”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate that the claims 

in the present matter are settled in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 54 and 58. Parties request that 

the court enter this Stipulated Consent Decree and Order as follows:

Whereas, Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Defendants, alleging causes of action for 

unfair competition under California’s Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 

§§ 17200-10, related to events called “Great Bull Runs” in which bulls and humans ran on the 

same track, in a manner that Plaintiffs allege violated Cal. Penal Code §§ 597(b), 597b, and 597m;

Whereas, Defendant GBR conducted these events and Defendant Lone Star Rodeo supplied 

bulls for use in these events; 

Whereas, the Parties now agree that it is in their best interests to resolve the action without 

litigation and have negotiated this Stipulated Consent Decree and Order in good faith to avoid 

expensive and protracted litigation; 

Whereas, the Defendants deny the allegations of the complaint and do not admit any 

liability arising out of the occurrences alleged in the complaint;

Whereas, the Parties recognize, and the Court by entering this Stipulated Consent Decree 

and Order finds, that this Stipulated Consent Decree and Order has been negotiated by the parties 

in good faith and implementation of this Stipulated Consent Decree and Order will avoid 

expensive and protracted litigation, and that this Stipulated Consent Decree and Order is fair and 

reasonable.

Now, therefore, without adjudication or admission of any issue of fact or law, the Parties, 

by and through the undersigned, agree and stipulate as follows:
