Animal-rights activists were quick to claim victory:
Organizers planned to hold the event Nov. 8 at the Pomona Fairplex.
PETA and the Animal Legal Defense Fund have challenged the Run every time it has attempted to produce an event in Southern California, including in Temecula and Lake Elsinore.
So far they’ve helped to shut the Great Bull Run out of Southern California.
Organizers say they have put on events successfully out of SoCal, including in the Bay Area last month. PETA says that, at that event July 26 in Alameda County, “One runner was hospitalized with a concussion and bruises after he had been trampled.”
