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.

What is the difference between a staged bullfighting event and a rodeo?

In a bullfight event, the bull is stabbed to death, but in a rodeo, the animals are not killed, but they are often re-used, again and again.

When traumatic things happen to you over & over, you live in a constant state of a form of shock.

Which is worst, killing the bull the first time he enters the ring, or re-using him over & over, and then killing him?

I understand that some people are the sort who like to watch suffering - like the sort who go to dog fights. And some people like to watch people hurting animals - there are evil people in this world.

But why would people take their children to watch this sort of suffering?

The crowd hears her scream, they see her suffering, do they care?
What kind of monsters have we become?

Please don't use animals in sports.
