Is this nice?


Look at the calf. The fluid shooting out of his little nose. What is happening to his back? In a few frames he will be yanked off his feet. Is this nice?

Rodeos aren't about skills real cowboys use. No sane rancher would ruin the health of his calves by roping them like this, at high speed. (If at all.)

There are other issues about animals. One of those issues is about dog breeding, and breeding dogs to be used in competitions.

On the surface it might not seem as bad as calf roping. But multiplied across the county by so many people, the problems multiply too.

If nobody speaks up about the problems, or if nobody listens, then the problems will just get worse, and all the improvements that could have been made, will never happen.
