ever see the video where the bronc's tail was rapped on the chute only when he turned to go out he couldn't? took him 3 tugs to rip enough tail hair out to go on bucking! more rodeo savvy right?
as for the bulls the bulls i dont know why the tails are pulled up so tight. sometimes when we are practicing or just starting out riding bulls we will tie the tail loosely to the bulls leg to stop it from swing it tail as much wich makes it twist around more. alsosome bulls will start spining and act like dogs and chace the tail. so it may be to keep them bucking out straight.
i have been doing rodeo for many years and have worked in the chutes with the bronks and they dont stab the horse. the horses head is tied with a piece of thin rope to stop it from puting its head up and rearing up going backwards over the rails behing it. or putting its head down and laying down in the chute. the knife is to cut the rope not to cut the horse.
Ive known Floyd and Bronc Rumford all my life and many more stock contractors. They are very good people and would do anything to help a stranger in need. They bulls and horses they own to put on there rodeos are what they make there living at. They would not in anyway do anything serious to injure there animals. Bulls and horses are very tough animals. They get hurt worse in the pasture from playing around with one another. Horses kick each other in playful manner. Bulls horn each other too.
Uhh... what? You sure he wasn't just poking the horse? I know in rodeos where I'm at, when you mark out the horse, you just touch its neck with your spurs and it goes. Are the rules different in Spain and Portugal? Maybe they just give him a nudge with a pointed object to get him out of the chute. Was the horse bleeding out the side of his neck to prove that he had been stabbed?
@Alexandros1294 ". Are the rules different in Spain and Portugal?" These are USA PRCA members putting on a 'show'. They're supposed to be using PRCA rules.
""they just give him a nudge with a pointed object to get him out of the chute"" What happened to your 'trained to buck', 'love to buck' nonsense?
@SHARKonlineorg Like people, sometimes a horse has a bad day. Granted, a horse isn't always going to start bucking and needs help. To be honest, I think the rider should be the one to get the horse to go, not anyone that isn't on the horse.
@rodeochamps Tail tying against the rules. Sorry, but we don't recall the rule book having pictures, so you'll need to get someone to read them to you.
""how do you knwo so much about bronc homo?"" You'd be surprised who we know. And we doubt he'd like you calling him homo in such a public forum.
The ONLY fun of rodeos is when the RIDER gets HURT. Serves him right. I don't wish him death, because that's way too low, but I'd kinda hope he gets the bitter taste of his own medicine.
i think its horrible, at my friends we had a fake rodeo when we were younger which meant we rode the horses round at different speeds having highspeed chace, roping...well part of the fence or a post.
never did we use another animal and we diddnt hurt thehorses. we still ride the horses but never attempt rodeo.
we loved playign cowoys but yet again we diddnt knwo the truth back then.
how can they hurt these animals? where other families work so hard to look after animals
this video is way blury you cant see anything at all.. and man i dont even want to tell ya what they do to show aniamls. ha you would be makin millions of more videos of how bad you think it is. i dont even wanna tell ya cuz i dont wanna hear it. but wow ur missin out alot athings that you guys "think are bad"
@SHARKonlineorg you should focus on bull fighting. but i have to agree. i dont think these people know what theyre supposed to do at rodeos. i have never seen a knife being used. and i have never seen their tails being tied. i dont think you should blame the rodeo business or practice, but i definitely agree that this particular rodeo show was unkind and unfair.
@27showgirl just went to your channel. Your a kid! How can you be an expert at anything. Do yourself a favor if you are gonna call yourself an expert take the Lady Gaga soundtrack off your videos, no expert would be rockin a teenie bopper song. Seemed clear to me I saw a knife.

You shouldnt defend them, they make all real cowboys look like GOONS which we know isnt the case.

@SHARKonlineorg ya i agree with cabagh17 their tail being tied doesnt hurt them.. like i say in all ur other videos ive been watchin this is all just a waste of time. their tail being tied is just to hold their tails. im an animal expert and i show all kinda livestock like cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, goats.. u name it. i know so much and im big into showing. everything you say doesnt make any sesne to me. dumbest people ever.
@27showgirl you DON'T know everything and you shouldn't say that you do, it makes you seem unprofessional. and i could imagine that it would irritate/ hurt a bull if it was tied at that angle because it's part of their spinal chord. many horses are the same way. i'm not saying that i know more than you, but if it doesn't hurt the animal then why is it illegal?and if you think these videos are a waste of time then why do you watch them? they are made by 'dumb' people after all...
@27showgirl and what about the stab? doesn't hurt them too and they are running and jumping like that just because they like it? if you are really an animal expert then PROTECT THEM!
@jizahl The horses are trained to buck. If you spur around the neck, the horse is going to buck because it's different than normal. They're trained to buck whenever they have a rider get on them.

is that right? show up at the beer stand after the rodeo and i promise you that you will find all the fight mano e mano that you computer tough guys can handle.
hockdoctor: Show up at the beer stand? Didn't you rodeo yahoos learn anything after that drunk cowboy in Nebraska dragged his horse to death last July because he forgot to untie it from the trailer? Grow up and sober up.
@hockdoctor : If you are so proud of what you are, why are you hiding? Ignorance is the only reason some people still attend these "shows", S.H.A.R.K and other movements like them are needed to teach the reality and at least give a voice to those animals. PRCA for me stands for Presenting Raw Cruelty to Animals..
the old fasion way? some rodeo thug took matters into their own hands and knocked the shit out of you bleeding hearts. the only reason they dont is because you people would hide behind the law and your lawyers.
biggest wimps? i notice you bunch of tough guys are always surrounded by security when you show up at the rodeo. Im sure you would have no problem finding some cowboy to oppose you the old fashion way at just about any rodeo you went to.
hockdoctor: Surrounded by security? No, not us. Plenty of times there's just two investigators, one is a woman, surrounded by rodeo people and guess what? Nothing happens. Rodeo thugs only talk trash here on the web.
So, please tell us, what is the 'old fashioned way' of opposing us?
I dont know what rodeo you offered someone a hundred dollars to let you shock them and got no takers but all i can say is it must have been a little kid rodeo. go to the slack in cheyenne and ill bet you have a line of takers and youll need a box of batteries and youll pull the trigger til your dead broke. funny that a guy like you would question the toughness of guys that make their living rodeoing.
hockdoctor: Cheyenne was one of the rodeos we offered that challenge.
Rodeo contestants are the biggest wimps when it comes to facing human opposition. We offered Ty Murray the opportunity to publicly refute our work exposing rodeo abuse, on his terms, turf and at his convenience. He was too yellow and sent a postcard, which touted his 'champion status' and declined to talk. To talk. And you think these cowards would be shocked? The only thing they do for money is harm animals.
Your wrong about how Floyd Rumford made Bronc's horse buck. He didn't hook anything at all. In fact he had a fishing line attached to the flank strap that allowed him to control the tightness of the flank using the reel on the fishing pole. He didn't use any hooks or pain causing apparatuses to make that horse buck. He simply used a cotton lined flank strap. Before you buy into this Shark idiot, you need to learn both sides of the story. His videos are full of untrue and misleading information.
buckerbarn: The videos show exactly what goes on. Nobody, except other rodeo people, are buy into your lame excuses to defend the abuse of these animals for your pleasure.
What a video. There is so much false information being presented. To say these horses were "stabbed" to make them appear wild is completely preposterous. From Websters; STAB: to deliver a wound, as with a pointed weapon. Neither horse was wounded or hurt in any way, they were lightly poked to tell them its time to go.
Are you serious? If bulls and horses are only lightly poked, they don't start bucking crazily, pretending they are suffering pain. However, when an animal is suddenly stabbed (injections, injury), fearful behaviour is immediate and they react with the startle reflex you see these animals displaying. Animals don't "provide entertainment" by pretending to have pain! These animals are truly tormented and in fear and in pain, but some people simply enjoy watching such barbarism. Go SHARK!
NOT SAYING THIS ISNT ANIMAL ABUSE BUTTTTT what it would seem is that pulling the tail up on them wouldnt hurt them.... does it? or does it make them go crazy. i mean what it would seem it is better then stabing or tazer IM NOT TRYING TO DEFEND THEM im just askin does it hurt them?
jrcfoxtrot13: While it is fantastic to see that you are strongly against animal abuse, repaying violence with violence does not work. The abused animals need you outside of jail! Let the animal abuser sit in jail, not you!
Agreement with thefutureisvegan. Regulations give tacit aceptance to animal use; they won't end exploitation or nonhuman suffering.
Re: "God gives us dominion over animals" (audm661) -- if people want to rely on the bible, they can't pick and choose what to live by, because the same "God", who supposedly gave humans dominion over other animals, also ok'd slavery and incest. So either accept all of what "God" supposedly said, or stop using "God" to make excuses when it's convenient.
these f**kers think they are above the law but what they don't realize is that SHARK is a ferocious force to be reckoned with. CONTINUE YOUR CAMPAIGN STEVE AND NEVER LET UP. YOU WILL BRING AN END TO THIS!!!!!!
You keep dodging me I see not posting what I have to say now I know a lot of the people that you talk about in the films that you show and you go on to call us names and make fun of us but read what some of the ppl that comment about us say rodeo has been here for hundreds of years and no non meat eating pecker is going to make it die
These rodeo idiots think they're hot s@it when all they are is s@it. It's obvious the sole purpose of putting the bulls' tails up into the flank strap is to cause them pain to make them buck. The knife blade used on horses is really clear, too. Whether the PRCA is in the USA of Europe, they always have to cheat to make the animals do what they want. Cruelty is entertainment for sadists and people with small minds and smaller hearts, and the animals suffer because of these morons.
While it's clear that anyone calling this a "sport" is already deranged, these sadists have even managed to lower that bar. Based on their own actions, their initials P.R.C.A. evidently stand for Pathetic Reprobate Cruelty to Animals.
God gives us dominion over animals. These animals were not stabbed with a knife blade, rodeo producers and stock contractors would not hurt their animals. The knife is not even open. The tails of the bulls are loosely tied which does not inflict pain their tails hurt only when they are pushed hard and tight upward if the animal was in pain it simply would not buck. You need to talk to people who actually own and operate animal facilities so that you will know the truth NOT BULLCRAP!!
just cuz this has PRCA people at it doesnt mean it is a sanctioned PRCA event....get a life steve you message isnt getting across to enough people low life. sucka
rope4life: The PRCA put this tour on the front page of their website and heralded those participating. The PRCA may not have funded it, but that's sanctioning, nonetheless.
Proof again that regulating these industries does nothing. The only way to go is total abolition and an end to the commodification of our fellow animals across the board.
ya thats right!!! the sooner these operations are closed down, the sooner all these animals will be dead because they will no longer have a purpose and a career!!! idiot...
Purpose? Career? What a cack-brained choice of words. Does this "career" involve medical insurance, union membership, paid holiday leave or a pension plan?
They're always accusing us of anthropomorphizing (humanizing) animals, but THEY are the ones pretending animals are willingly participating in these "sports." We respect animals for what they are. These rodeos are nothing more than human sadism on parade, and each instance of it further degrades the human race. Animal rights people don't degrade the human race...animal abusers do!
Thank you FAACE and Initiative Anti-Corrida for documenting the PRCA's cruelty toward animals. It is my hope that after seeing this footage, Portugal and Spain will never host this outrageous American spectacle again.
SHARK, you nailed the PRCA good with this one -- knifing horses? WTF!? Unbelievable!
we won't be able to ban rodeos all together -no matter how much we want to- but we need to make it safe and humane for all animals! calf roping, steer tripping/busting etc are just obvious forms of abuse! its just horrible!
with the bucking, horses (and bulls)should enjoy it. they shouldnt need fan-dangle bits and pieces that make them buck in pain. they should enjoy their work and have a good safe buck. not be in pain and live a life of fear and torture and abuse
It is very sad to see all the pain this animals go trhough, day after day we have this ignorant, horrible "people" taking their anger,stress, frustration or animals or others do it 4 "fun" "money"!! This people make sick to the point that I wanna go and hurt them so bad!!!!! We should stick 2gether and fight 4 this poor animals who have no voice to scream 4 help!!
Wow!! This brainless idiots don't Get tired of abusing this poor animals.. It Is hard to watch them go trough so much pain, but that's why we should stick together and fight for this innocent animals!! This bastards make me sick to the point that I want to hurt them really bad so they can feel what this animals feel when they torture them like that...
i love ur videos and i am very cautious about this stuff and it changed how i think about things after these videos. thank you! Rodeos Suck! was the guy using a knife or like some kind of tazor?
I wish a movie about this would come out. It would bring more awarness out. Because a lot of people dont see rodeo as abuse, at first I didnt until I watched Spirit lol and saw your SHARKonlinerog videos.
yes, yes, very true. documentaries are a lot of work but a very effective way to spread the word. A doc. "The Cove" which exposes hidden dolphin slaughters in Japan has hit huge around the world, and is currently up for an oscar in 2010.
Youtube has been very helpful though, to expose such acts that are shown clearly in this video - us, the viewers, have to help spread this content around on social sites and so forth.
patz: You're right; a "Cove"-like documentary would be awesome. I can see it now: "Rodeo", with footage from SHARK, revealing the ugly truth behind the cowboy facade. Some day...
journeyman47: Thanks. It's all a matter of finding a producer with compassion, guts and connections. Yes, someone like that is out there. We'll find him or her.
I'm a huge horse lover and I have never liked rodeos or the races. I'm glad that there are people like you out there to help put a stop to these cruel traditions.
Instead of bull-riding involving flanks and knives and bareback (buck) riding, steer-roping, and such, here's a better rodeo:
It starts off with barrel racing, bareback relay-racing (not on a bucking horse), and obsticle course competition. On the second half of the show is Arena Polo (or I should call it Rodeo Polo), which is a scaled down version of regular polo.
Rodeos should be human/aninal bond, not humans tormenting animals.
I couldn't agree more! However I must state that most places already have that and they usually call them riding games or play days. And their usually hoisted by a local riding team or 4H clubs.
why are they using knives? iv never seen anything like this. from the tail being tied like that, the bulls look like their in pain becouse they are bucking very poorly for a professional rodeo
gruelin1: Thanks to you and everyone for your comments condemning this brutality. The credit for this video goes to our friends in Europe who are, like us, on the front lines against animal abusers daily.
They're using knives now!? Ok, this is gettin even more out of hand than it already was. And here I thought tazers were bad enough. If children saw this, they would be doing this kind of stuff all the time, thinking its ok. Im pretty sure kids would look up to these kinds of people without knowing what they're really like.
Vickydragon: The PRCA doesn't enforce its own rule book here in the US; not surprising PRCA thugs go to worse extremes when they think SHARK isn't watching.
Knifing animals and shocking them! Sounds like police laws seem not to count in Rodeo. But then again, I am not surprised. Something attracts men to use animals as a tool of entertainment. Maybe it's just their own ego. It's a bit of Irony when they use the song "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed for there little intro song with the bronc horses in the beggining. Don't you think?
Last week there was a rodeo down in NJ. I didn't go but my traner took her students for the barrle racign part since there was agrab for $2500. They said that they went to see the hose part. They said it was bad. They ke[t shoking the horses and all. Purly a show that rodeos do not belong. I feel bad for the horses a cattle. They really do NOT deserve this!!!
SHAUNAMURRAY93: Since this happened in foreign arenas, in places where bulls are routinely stabbed and tortured to death for entertainment, it is highly doubtful anyone even said a word about it.
It's important to realize these are the same people who rodeo here in the US, so there you have proof of the kind of people we work to expose.
ever see the video where the bronc's tail was rapped on the chute only when he turned to go out he couldn't? took him 3 tugs to rip enough tail hair out to go on bucking! more rodeo savvy right?

I would LOVE to see you in a position of one of these poor, abused animals and see how YOU take it! Even for 1 day!
Seriously, I agree with SHARK. GROW UP AND SOBER UP!

@hockdoctor YOU RODEO DUDES ARE THE BIGGEST IGNORANT COWARDS -WHO ABUSE DEFENSELESS ANIMALS !
WildhorseAnni 1 year ago
@hockdoctor : If you are so proud of what you are, why are you hiding? Ignorance is the only reason some people still attend these "shows", S.H.A.R.K and other movements like them are needed to teach the reality and at least give a voice to those animals. PRCA for me stands for Presenting Raw Cruelty to Animals..

I dont know what rodeo you offered someone a hundred dollars to let you shock them and got no takers but all i can say is it must have been a little kid rodeo. go to the slack in cheyenne and ill bet you have a line of takers and youll need a box of batteries and youll pull the trigger til your dead broke. funny that a guy like you would question the toughness of guys that make their living rodeoing.

hockdoctor: Cheyenne was one of the rodeos we offered that challenge.
Rodeo contestants are the biggest wimps when it comes to facing human opposition. We offered Ty Murray the opportunity to publicly refute our work exposing rodeo abuse, on his terms, turf and at his convenience. He was too yellow and sent a postcard, which touted his 'champion status' and declined to talk. To talk. And you think these cowards would be shocked? The only thing they do for money is harm animals.

Your wrong about how Floyd Rumford made Bronc's horse buck. He didn't hook anything at all. In fact he had a fishing line attached to the flank strap that allowed him to control the tightness of the flank using the reel on the fishing pole. He didn't use any hooks or pain causing apparatuses to make that horse buck. He simply used a cotton lined flank strap. Before you buy into this Shark idiot, you need to learn both sides of the story. His videos are full of untrue and misleading information.

What a video. There is so much false information being presented. To say these horses were "stabbed" to make them appear wild is completely preposterous. From Websters; STAB: to deliver a wound, as with a pointed weapon. Neither horse was wounded or hurt in any way, they were lightly poked to tell them its time to go.
buckerbarn 2 years ago
buckerbarn: "lightly poked' Yep, sure, that makes a difference. They used a knife. Enough said.
As for telling them it's time to go, what about the bred/born to buck nonsense ya'll spew all the time?
SHARKonlineorg 2 years ago
Are you serious? If bulls and horses are only lightly poked, they don't start bucking crazily, pretending they are suffering pain. However, when an animal is suddenly stabbed (injections, injury), fearful behaviour is immediate and they react with the startle reflex you see these animals displaying. Animals don't "provide entertainment" by pretending to have pain! These animals are truly tormented and in fear and in pain, but some people simply enjoy watching such barbarism. Go SHARK!

NOT SAYING THIS ISNT ANIMAL ABUSE BUTTTTT what it would seem is that pulling the tail up on them wouldnt hurt them.... does it? or does it make them go crazy. i mean what it would seem it is better then stabing or tazer IM NOT TRYING TO DEFEND THEM im just askin does it hurt them?

Agreement with thefutureisvegan. Regulations give tacit aceptance to animal use; they won't end exploitation or nonhuman suffering.
Re: "God gives us dominion over animals" (audm661) -- if people want to rely on the bible, they can't pick and choose what to live by, because the same "God", who supposedly gave humans dominion over other animals, also ok'd slavery and incest. So either accept all of what "God" supposedly said, or stop using "God" to make excuses when it's convenient.

These rodeo idiots think they're hot s@it when all they are is s@it. It's obvious the sole purpose of putting the bulls' tails up into the flank strap is to cause them pain to make them buck. The knife blade used on horses is really clear, too. Whether the PRCA is in the USA of Europe, they always have to cheat to make the animals do what they want. Cruelty is entertainment for sadists and people with small minds and smaller hearts, and the animals suffer because of these morons.

God gives us dominion over animals. These animals were not stabbed with a knife blade, rodeo producers and stock contractors would not hurt their animals. The knife is not even open. The tails of the bulls are loosely tied which does not inflict pain their tails hurt only when they are pushed hard and tight upward if the animal was in pain it simply would not buck. You need to talk to people who actually own and operate animal facilities so that you will know the truth NOT BULLCRAP!!

They're always accusing us of anthropomorphizing (humanizing) animals, but THEY are the ones pretending animals are willingly participating in these "sports." We respect animals for what they are. These rodeos are nothing more than human sadism on parade, and each instance of it further degrades the human race. Animal rights people don't degrade the human race...animal abusers do!

with the bucking, horses (and bulls)should enjoy it. they shouldnt need fan-dangle bits and pieces that make them buck in pain. they should enjoy their work and have a good safe buck. not be in pain and live a life of fear and torture and abuse

yes, yes, very true. documentaries are a lot of work but a very effective way to spread the word. A doc. "The Cove" which exposes hidden dolphin slaughters in Japan has hit huge around the world, and is currently up for an oscar in 2010.
Youtube has been very helpful though, to expose such acts that are shown clearly in this video - us, the viewers, have to help spread this content around on social sites and so forth.

Here's a great alternative rodeo:
Instead of bull-riding involving flanks and knives and bareback (buck) riding, steer-roping, and such, here's a better rodeo:
It starts off with barrel racing, bareback relay-racing (not on a bucking horse), and obsticle course competition. On the second half of the show is Arena Polo (or I should call it Rodeo Polo), which is a scaled down version of regular polo.
Rodeos should be human/aninal bond, not humans tormenting animals.

Knifing animals and shocking them! Sounds like police laws seem not to count in Rodeo. But then again, I am not surprised. Something attracts men to use animals as a tool of entertainment. Maybe it's just their own ego. It's a bit of Irony when they use the song "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed for there little intro song with the bronc horses in the beggining. Don't you think?
