Inhumane Bull Shocking in Pennsylvania Rodeo

[97IntlPowerstroke]

I bet the guy who made this video also eats beef every other night for dinner. Your too worried about a little shock A short shock of up to 8k volts are harmless, even for people. If you dont like the rodeo, dont go to it. Worry about more important animal abuse, like starving pets (commercails on tv just kill me) and something like horse slaughter.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@97IntlPowerstroke ""like starving pets (commercails on tv just kill me) "" We see your advocacy for them all over your page. Wait, no we don't. You're one of those who tell other people what you want them to do, but can't be bothered doing it yourself. When you grow some balls to take action against cruelty that 'just kills you', then come back and talk to us.

[pbking09]

@SHARKonlineorg i have balls and ill beat your tree hugging ass if i ever run into you i swear on my life

[SHARKonlineorg]

@pbking09 LOL

[welderboy333]

i guess u don't go to his rodeo any more since u dont upload any videos

[SHARKonlineorg]

@welderboy333 Other activists and individuals are exposing rodeo cruelty at the venues that conflict with our set schedule.

[hurricaneplayer8]

@SHARKonlineorg Genesis 1: 28 "..Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

we have God on our side. we win

[SHARKonlineorg]

@hurricaneplayer8 LOL. What a putz you are.

[rockncwby]

hey I got an idea if you dont like it dont watch. These bulls are well taken care of, they are prized possesions, so if you want we could just send them all to the slaughter house then you could eat them for dinner right? two words for all you fools... shut it

[SHARKonlineorg]

@rockncwby Not enough of a man to go one-on-one in competition, you need to use a captive, forced animal to pretend you're a man?

[OooLalaJacii]

fuck you to that person thaet shok them

[JudyandBrandon09]

I had no idea!!!! We are going on Saturday to Sundance arena, for Bullride mania, i'm interested to see if they're still shocking their bulls, if so... i am going to be VERY disappointed!... they'll have lost a repeat customer!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@JudyandBrandon09 As you can see in the video, it happens very fast and takes place far from the view of most seats with the animal's body and gate obscuring your view of it. We use telephoto lenses to get these shots. Let us know if you see anything going on.

[JudyandBrandon09]

@SHARKonlineorg Yes, i will for sure let you know if we see anything, we usually sit next to the chutes, but now that i know what to look for, you will definitely be hearing from me if i see anything happening! I am so glad you guys are watching out for the animals! Thanks again for working to keep rodeos abuse free!

[Canyoutakemeback1]

How can any of you think harming an animal in anyway is OK? It's not! It's not fair to the animal. Dont you see?

[bullriderfxxx]

why don't u look into mexican bull riding? they use illegal rowels that hooks inside the bulls hide

[SHARKonlineorg]

@bullriderfxxx You go right ahead and begin a campaign against that. Put action in place of your words. We will continue to focus on American rodeo animal abuse.

[DanGogh]

@SHARKonlineorg lol so you ignore other countries inhumane practices and only care about American abuse. Talk about being hypocrites.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@DanGogh We never said we ignore what other countries are doing to harm animals. How you determined that out of our saying we focus on American rodeo is rather idiotic. The hypocrisy is in your wasting time trolling videos instead of putting your time to use working towards something you say we should be working towards.

[kellyNsamguard4life]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH @ajvisco

[SHARKonlineorg]

@kellyNsamguard4life Of course you do. Harming animals for fun and prizes is cool to you.

[ajvisco]

shark you need to jus go off of the face of planet cause your jus sounding real stupid right now you guys are so fucking obsessed that we "hurt and abuse" our livestock when we dont, when their are other sports that actually kill the animals and treat them horrible y dont you leave the shit alone hotshots are now only allowed in any rodeo event if the animal has stalled and has the okay by the officials if not it is $2500.00 fine this was 3 years ago when it was allowed so f off

[SHARKonlineorg]

@ajvisco We're not going anywhere, crybaby, as long as rodeo continues to abuse animals.

[YellaHeRsHeYs1]

@ajvisco He sounds considerate and factual as far as I know. If you weren't such a narrow-minded person, you'd know that rodeos DO mistreat their animals whether they want to or not. Do you not see the freaking evidence where calves have their bones broken, bulls bleed to death because of goddamn swords, and horses are running into fences due to extreme shock and stress? Honestly, open your eyes. Dog fighting is illegal, so Rodeos should be too. Its a Human VS. Animal "sport" over Power. Stupid.

[garrettm11]

@14beau your the reason rodeos look bad and have a bad reputation. if you do rodeo as you so solemnly swear then you obviously dont respect bulls as an athlete. your stupid. once again its called a FLANK strap! get outta here ya fuckin rodeo reject...

[garrettm11]

@14beau & @kitsurubami, are you fuckin stupid? you obviously know absolutely NOTHIN about rodeo. think, if your nuts were wrapped tightly in a belt would you be able to jump and kick? you try to sound like you know rodeo when you dont know a dam thing!! the flank strap us tied around the flank of the animal tight enough to stay but loose enough to where the bull thinks it can kick it off. next time do a little more research before you try to sound like you know anything

[14beau]

@garrettm11 all i have to say is ur an ass.. ur the one thinking u know more than a rancher with expirence... ASS

[garrettm11]

@14beau & @kitsurubami,

[Str8pipedRanger]

I love how all you do is talk about in humane to animals yet you have no apprehensions about using computers and video cameras and even to your clothing that uses child labor that have much worse done to them than a 5,000v shock, If a 5k shock is so in-humane start a write up on why police carry a 100,000-300,000 volt stun gun, but wait, i guess to you the animals have more right than the humans. Ill agree animals have rights, but if its ok to use on a human, is it bad for a 5,000 bull?

[SHARKonlineorg]

@Str8pipedRanger I read the part about child labor and stopped. Really stretching, aren't you? Nuts.

[semperfi211]

It hurts and stuns a 200lb man. It is like a pinch on the but to a 2000lb bull.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@semperfi211 Untrue. The electric stuns neither, hurts both. Bovines are move sensitive to electricity than are humans. Any true handler of livestock should know that.

[dickhurtzfromholden]

You know what you can do with your "comment pending approval CENSORSHIP TECHNQUE? 

You like to act like youre better than others, but your SHIT. We have freedom of speech in this country

Its not Soviet Russia here, you puke.

Fuck you, and everyone else who does this

Fucking terrorist

[SHARKonlineorg]

@dickhurtzfromholden Good God, what a crybaby, especially considering that rodeo associations have not public comment sections on their websites whatsoever.

[charalan9027]

@SHARKonlineorg I guess we will have a difference in opinion on this matter, keep doing what ya'll do and good luck

[charalan9027]

I understand where ya'll are coming, but ya'll are making every cowboy or rodeo look bad. Yes there are some rodeos and cowboy thugs who don't care about the safety of animals. But, there are also rodeos that care about their animals and would never do such things. I would gladly support ya'll, but I have been to the following rodeos : Houston LIvestock Show and Rodeo, Fort Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo, and San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo, and have never seen or heard of these things

[SHARKonlineorg]

@charalan9027 ""but ya'll are making every cowboy or rodeo look bad. "" We're showing the abuse that happens at the rodeos we've documented. Rodeo is making itself look bad.

[kitsurubami]

you do realize that the method by which they get the bull to buck is crushing its testicles with a very tight belt? in comparison to that the shock probably can't even be felt. Furthermore, things such as having horns cut off, or being branded that nearly all livestock go through hurt way more. Your priorities are way out of wack.

[14beau]

@kitsurubami THANK YOU!!! u know what ur talking aboutt!!! people are sooo arrogent :-)

[SHARKonlineorg]

@14beau You agree with kitsurubami that bulls have their testicles crushed with a tight belt and say he knows what he's talking about?

[14beau]

@SHARKonlineorg yes he does... that is what gets the bulls to buck and they have enough testosterone and adrenaline going through their body and are so excited they cant even feel it... its a little pric like getting a shot... and yes rodeo people know what they are talking about... GET A LIFE

[SHARKonlineorg]

@14beau Flank straps are not tightened around the bulls' testicles. Even rodeo people will agree with us on that. Whatever it is you think you know, you're wrong. Get an education.

[14beau]

@SHARKonlineorg OK... flank straps are tightened around a bulls nuts... have u even rode a bull... and yes i know alot more about bucking bulls cause we used to raise them.. my family and i own one of the biggest cattle rances in montana... we have over 1000 head of cattle and have over 250 bulls... do ya think rance people might know a little about bulls and how they work because they just might have rodeos out west... mabe u should get an education cause u have nooo clue what ur talking about

[SHARKonlineorg]

@14beau ""OK... flank straps are tightened around a bulls nuts... "" ""and yes i know alot more about bucking bulls cause we used to raise them"" LOL.

[14beau]

@SHARKonlineorg ya ok.. than if u know so much and used to raise them why are u against it... u make noo sence

[SHARKonlineorg]

@14beau Those are your words, that you raised rodeo bulls, but insist they're tied around the testicles to buck. Forgot that? Your post is right above on the page. And you're very wrong. So it stands to reason you're lying.

[YellaHeRsHeYs1]

@14beau Oh okay, so let's tie up a belt around your testicles, hotshot. Let's see how you like it. Do you even care for the bulls you raise? If you knew so much about them you'd know that the goddamn straps cause them extreme pain. It's like getting a kick in the crotch for every time you move. Get real.

[joedon331]

@SHARKonlineorg one thing i have actually agreed with you on wow

[fchosson]

I saw a similar scene @ San antonio TX, "cowboys dancehall" last wednesday night.

It was a private show.

[mild112]

i have been shoked with thos befor and yes it hurts but its not that fuckin bad its not like it made my heart stop or anything and a little shock on the bull isnt goin 2 hurt it now if they held it on the bull for a long time it might hurt them but they just give them a little shock

[SHARKonlineorg]

@mild112 ""yes it hurts"" Intentionally hurting an animal for fun and prizes. Yes, that's what rodeo is about.

[mild112]

@SHARKonlineorg i know it hurts and yes some people do it for fun just 2 hurt the animal but not everyone dous that so u cant blame everyone that owns a farm or rides bulls when not everyone uses them

[blan717]

Listen here you stupid fuck. you know nothing about rodeo. the people in this video i know and have rode with my whole rodeo career. they are doing nothing wrong. so let us catch you at a rodeo and we will shut you up for good

[SHARKonlineorg]

@blan717 ""let us catch you at a rodeo and we will shut you up for good"" Not surprised to hear a rodeo person who defends animal abuse threaten to harm a human being, as well.

[trmbnplyr93]

@blan717 so putting 5000 volts of electricity into animal so that he can knock someone off thier back is NOT wrong? Why don't you put someone on your back, and let me prod you with 5000 volts, then try to knock him off. Does that sound fun to you? I don't think so.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@sexyruski101 Thank you for adding your voice to the fight against rodeo animal abuse.

[jessiclr]

Say all you want about rodeo but it is not going any where. It has been around longer then the animal rights activist. With that said, if you look closer these bulls are all young bulls. They do it to encourage the bull to buck. These bulls are treated better then some kids in america. So before you go on talking about how bad rodeo is try putting effort toward something you might be able to change, like the life of a child.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@jessiclr Sad that someone didn't put any effort into you given you're a child already tolerant of animal abuse. 

[blackwell0187]

you have alot on here that i agree with but have you ever seen how bulls are treated at home? they get the best feed and medical care ever. cowboys and rodeos have been around alot longer than you or i so why dont you take your video camera and got to a stock contractors home and see how well they are treated and put that on your list of videos and talk about how great stock contractors take care of there animals

[SHARKonlineorg]

@blackwell0187 Our rodeo videos clearly show how stock contractors treat their animals. Like rental equipment, and without regard of their safety and welfare. Just because they get fed good 'at home' doesnt' give anyone the right to abuse them in the rodeo arena.

[tlphillips100]

Whatever you call it there is a better way of doing it than ruining peoples reputation. I have spent years behind the scenes and learned how the animals are treated. To be honest they have a better life than most people. I think you should understand a situation a little more before you attack it.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@tlphillips100 How the animals are treated 'behind the scenes' is trumped by the abuse they endure in the arena. We understand the rodeo situation well. It's animal abuse for money and prizes.

[tlphillips100]

Shark. Every sport and organization in the world has its bad points but also their good points. These bulls are given room to graze and roam and are treated with more respect than you think. If you have an opinion about this their is a better way to do in than hiding behind the name "Shark" and destroying peoples reputations. Keep in mind to that rodeo(bull riding, roping and horse events) is a way of life for a very large group of people. Protest in a respectful manner.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@tlphillips100 We're not protesting. We're exposing rodeo people abusing animals. And shocking animals is neither respectful nor good treatment.

[Pikafuey]

SHARK, don't listen to those stupid fucks. They're all going to hell anyways for tormenting animals. You keep doing what your doing and show those who do care, like me, what's going on in the world.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@Pikafuey Thanks for your post.

[Pikafuey]

@SHARKonlineorg You're very welcome SHARK :)

Hopefully these videos will help those horses and bulls.

[garrettm11]

hey i've got an idea! i'm gonna start makin video's about dirty hippies who love animals so much they fuck them i.e. shark! i'm just goin off of assumptions just like you are...

[SHARKonlineorg]

@garrettm11 Be careful, thinking might strain your brain, weak as it is.

[RuCocowboy]

i would like to say that i am a bull rider, and i help friends raise bucking bull. Therefore i know a little about what i'm fixing to say. Bulls are not shocked to put on a show. Pro Rodeos dont allow the shocking of bulls anyways. I for one have never sat on a bull thats been shocked. Some rodeos shock there bulls and i'm not supporting that. Most bull riders don't, and most rodeos DO NOT SHOCK BULLS.

[mushmush7]

@RuCocowboy I wish all cowboys were like you. But they are not and cruel ones make it hard for everyone.

[barrelracinbabe18]

I hate SHARK

[SHARKonlineorg]

barrelracinbabe18: Thank you. It's a compliment to be hated by those who support rodeo animal abuse.

[8secondsoffame09]

you low down ignorant bastard. bulls are what makes money.. no one is beatin on nothin. if you dont like bull ridin no ones holdin a gun to your head makin you watch it. im gettin tired of hearin you little shit bout us not takin care of animals at rodeos. bulls are beast and a big part of american history so i suggest you shut ur mouth before us "ignorant cowboys": shut it for you

[SHARKonlineorg]

8secondsoffame09: That's what makes money? You said on the other video that you don't do it for the money, but for the love. So, which is it?

[mushmush7]

@8secondsoffame09 Whatever!

[intuzuglen]

@8secondsoffame09 As I have commented on some of shark other video's about people like you who even think it is alright to to DEFEND a barbaric event like this. Why should these animals have to suffer for human entertainment, Why should they suffer so that people can make a few buck off of them. Life is worth alot more than a few dollars. I have gone to 1 rodeo in my entire life I have never gone back and never will. Thank you shark for being a voice to the animals in these rodeos.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@intuzuglen We appreciate your concern for the animals.

[fpatt089]

Entertainment? Abuse and cruel men's (boys) games.

[nathaniel4x42008]

ok this video is stupid but what else is expected from SHARK. Yes they probably shouldn't have shocked them but if you had ever used a hot shot you would know that it isn't that powerful. And as for ProudToBeVeggie's comment the reason they buck is because of the flank strap. and the pickup men take it off as soon as the ride is over.

[SHARKonlineorg]

nathaniel4x42008: First you say they shouldn't have shocked them, then you defend it because 'it isn't that powerful'.

Next time you call someone stupid, be looking in the mirror.

[8secondsoffame09]

they shock em to help the cowboy get a higher score.

[SHARKonlineorg]

8secondsoffame09: That blows your 'raised and bred to buck' nonsense to smithereens.

[ProudToBeVeggie]

Wow those cruel fuckers. That's why the bull freaks out...... cause they are tazed and they are trying to stop the pain........ what the hell is wrong with the world?!?

[matguy2]

what is your name since you let the whole world know his name. Unless you have something to hide..........hmmmmmm......wha­t is in your closet?

[SHARKonlineorg]

matguy2: Steve Hindi. My history is on the SHARK website.

[denisse275]

sao filho da puta dando choque nos boi americanos filho da puta vai da choque na sua mae aquela vaca peitida que porra de rodeio

[DownHomeCountryGurl]

And again you insult people but give no real agruments. I beleive in what i beleive in and thats that. This is a free country you know. Even if you do ban rodeos people are still gonna hold them wether you like it or not.

You my good sir are a poser and a attention whore.

[SHARKonlineorg]

And you madam, are an animal abuser.

The difference being attention doesn't cause a living being pain and suffering.

Yes, we want attention. We want to draw all the attention we can to what the animals are suffering at rodeos.

And if/when rodeos are banned, it will not be by SHARK, but by the majority of compassionate Americans who will finally see through your tradition and heritage spiel for the truth that it is: Abuse of animals for fun and profit.

[DownHomeCountryGurl]

And there you are wrong many rodeos are non-profit rodeos like Hoppels.

Have you gone out and seen every rodeo?

I dont think so so stop saying that all rodeos are bad.

Hoppels isnt bad or creulty to animals in any way.

We take pride in the care of our animals.we dont shock uor bulls and steers and they have been breed for this. They come to every hoppels rodeo and they know what to do.

after the ride or the wrestle they immediantly go bck intot he shoot because they know they wil get food

[SHARKonlineorg]

As we said in a previous post, we'll consider Hoppels, so stay on your best behavior.

As for non-profit, are you saying no money exchanges hands whatsoever? The stock contractors, promoters and concessions make no money? The contestants don't win anything?

As for running back to the chute because they know they will get food, that's base level animal training,nothing amazing or rodeo about it. Do a deed, get some feed.

[DownHomeCountryGurl]

:P

no im not saying no money exchanges the people fo the rodeo pay for the rodeo. You pay so mucht o do an een then the kids who wn get some money like 10 to like 5 dollars.

But they arent tortured or forced into the chute.

[SHARKonlineorg]

So people are making money off the backs of the animals.

[pbrbound]

You CAN NOT make a 2000 pound animal do anything that it does not want to, Thats all there is to it. Its like that question where does a 400lb gorrila sleep? Anywhere it fucking wants to. You cant make a large animal like that do anything it doesnt want to,, You can tell me how wrong i am or how much of an asshole i am, fact of the matter is im not whitetrash, im a respectable citizen, and i will continue to promote and go to dave martins rodeos, oh did i mention i ride too. Have a nice day.

[SHARKonlineorg]

pbrbound: Your first sentence is utterly ridiculous, and things go downhill from there. But then, denial is the foundation of rodeo.

[manesntails1]

If you've ever been to a cattle auction you would realize that a hot shot doesn;t do much but nudge the cattle. It's used everyday, everywhere to move one forward. They use it here to keep the bull from stalling in the chute which is SO dangerous for the rider who could be killed by being crushed against the wall. It is TRULY HARMLES.

[SHARKonlineorg]

manesntails1: Shocking bulls violates the humane rules of every rodeo association that I am aware of. It violates the guidelines of the prod manufacturer. Make all the excuses for abuse that you want, but those are the facts.

[XiongmaoSimba]

Those men need to be straped down and zapped repeatedly to their heads, assholes and balls to see how they like it.

[mattpavelko01]

Ahh...rodeos, demolition derbys, monster trucks...entertainment truly suited for only the classiest folks around. LOL @ whitetrash.

[4littlecowboys]

i have a three year old that can come up with better than that. wannabes??? which part about me pointing out that you're an asshole makes me poser or a wannabe? your even more retarded than the asshole talking in the videos.

[SHARKonlineorg]

4littlecowboys: Ever heard of the say, "If the shoe fits?"

It does.

[4littlecowboys]

id like to stick a hot shot up an animal rights activists candy ass. shark, you should point your efforts toward something that you might be able to change. no body is afraid of you "exposing them again and again" if anything you help sell tickets. thanks asshole.

[SHARKonlineorg]

4littlecowboys: You should change your username to 4littlewannabes.

Poser.

[cowboyBR3]

shark dave martin isone of the best stock contractors around this area he was one of the best pbr contractors and started about five other associations but with him being a auctioneer he didnt have time so he only does he own little deals cause he loves the sport.i love riding bulls and the bulls are the main part of rodeo they are powerful & smart.search the great bull red rock and do some readin before you go puttin stuff out there that isnt true.the hott shot dont hurt it just makes you jump

[SHARKonlineorg]

cowboyBR3: Sorry, but your denials just aren't cutting it. Dave Martin is a cheater who has to shock his animals to make them act wild. A 5,000 volt shock device does indeed make you jump - from pain! Martin is exposed, so he'd better knock it off before we expose him over and over again.

[asboman123]

fucking red necks

[pbrbound]

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME YOU SADISTIC ASS HOLE! I spend my days in the back of a FUCKING AMBULANCE saving lives and giving back to my community! Shark..if there is anyone at the bottom of the barrel it would be you!

[SHARKonlineorg]

pbrbound: Sadistic? Which of us is defending the shocking of an animal in a chute, where the victim cannot go forward, backward or turn around? How cowardly. I sized you up by what you said, and I'll stand by it.

[pbrbound]

this "threatening" letter that this ass hole is talking about says that Mr. Martin is open for any sort of opposition as long as it is done in a peaceful manner with true statements...hmm...doesnt sound threatening to me. Thank you Dave Martin for providing Pennsylvania with some of the Best BUCKING BULL action in the country. I look forward to being in the chute again soon!

[SHARKonlineorg]

pbrbound: Even on a rodeo scale, you must really be on the bottom of the barrel. The video shows that Mr. Martin's bulls are barely awake, which goes a long way in explaining why they were being shocked so routinely.

[raphmaster23]

My Aunt used to tell us as kids i was about 7-8 years old to touch the electric fence. I hated it it hurt and im sure these prods have a more voltage.

Now its the only kind of fence we use for our horses they dont go near it and they dont let themselves get shocked for kicks.

So yes it hurts and its wrong to use cattle prods. So shame on you who think it doesnt hurt.

[bullriderfxxx]

i all ready got shocked by 15,000 volts fence charger just by unplugging it and now im  to afraid to plug it back in, lol

[BAREBACKRIDE20]

Have you ever seen of felt how thick and tough a bull hide is ya didnt think most of you did this hot shot is just touching the bull for maybe two sec its not like you hold it on there hide for 15 sec like you did with the wrench this hot shot on a bull is like a human licking a battery.

[SHARKonlineorg]

BAREBACKRIDE20: If it doesn't matter, and since it violates the prod manufacturer's recommended use and supposed rodeo humane rules, why use it?

[BIBates062093]

Hey My name Is Keith Urey and I ride at Daves Shows and I know for a fact Dave treats his bulls very well. The device that John is using doesnt hurt the bulls It just kinda wakes them up and makes them buck better it doesnt even shock as hard as an electric fence used to keep horses in there feilds. If you dont like his shows than just fuck off and dont go to them.

[SHARKonlineorg]

BIBates062093: Ya, it "wakes them up" with five thousand volts, and it certainly does hurt. Thanks to your mouthiness, we'll be thinking of you next time we expose this guy.

[motzeye]

It makes me laugh when people put things like this. Yes, it "wakes them up". I wonder what your reaction would be if someone came and "woke you up" with 5000 volts?!?! I do indeed!

If only there were a sport where we could round up all the people who take part in this idiocy and "wake them up" with a few jolts!

Well done to Shark for all the exposure - your videos are brilliant!

[SHARKonlineorg]

motzeye: We have offered to shock rodeo folk with this device at county board meetings, etc., when they claim it doesn't hurt. We've been doing that for years, and haven't had even one taker.

[KelsonMakai]

Rodeio é uma idiotice! é uma coisa pra retardados mentais, que tem a capacidade de achar uma crueldade dessas "bonita"... "divertido"... São uns covardes!

[gjefle]

Its assholes like the guy narrating this video that are making personal freedoms no longer free. If you give up your freedom for security YOU DESERVE Neither SECUITY OF FREEDOM -Ben Franklin

This guy just wants to push his ideas on to the general public so his ways can become standard. Fuck this guy and Fuck this orginazation he supports. This Narrator is a communist fagget

[SHARKonlineorg]

gjefle: The guy narrating has somehow stripped people of their personal freedoms?????????? And he's gay and a communist??????!!!!!!!!

What kind of drugs are you on?

[videowatcheer]

why is causing animals pain and suffering apart of personal freedoms

[blackerthanblackdog]

Well why aren't you out campaigning aginst the tazering of HUMANS?

[SHARKonlineorg]

blackerthanblackdog: Because SHARK is an animal protection group.

[blackerthanblackdog]

Humans are animals...Most of your videos seem to be about your prejudice and bigotry towards a type of human rather than about saving animals from cruelty.

[inromowetrust9]

broke back mountain fags cowboys not my dallas cowboys are fuckin jokes n need to stop living in the early 1900s n live in the now

[cowboyBR3]

this is a crock of shit...ive been riding bulls for dave martin for 4 yrs now the shock dosent bother them...they take better care of the bulls then us cowboys...thats thier bread and butter...we can get fined for cuttin the bulls if our spurs are sharp and so on so dont believe this stuff!!!

[SHARKonlineorg]

cowboyBR: So you're saying Martin regularly shocks his bulls, yes? That isn't taking care of them, son. That's abuse.

[casinoowner33]

Do you go to all these rodeo events yourself in order to document them? Because if I was in your situation, fighting against the rodeo owners and the people that love this sport I'd be afraid to be seen in public promoting its closure.

[SHARKonlineorg]

While we very occasionally receive video documentation from someone else, 99% of our video library is ours, whatever the issue.

[tbrintonsevenhi]

BASTARDS!!!!!!! I feel like taking that to those people!

[gjefle]

Have that guy change the battery and lets RODEO

[981callthecops]

well waahh its just a little electricity

[SHARKonlineorg]

981callthecops: This much we can count on. If you got that shock, there'd be a whole lotta WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

[gjefle]

like i said CHARGE THE BATTERY AND LETS RODEO

[SHARKonlineorg]

gjefle: Yep, yer a rodeo person fer sure.

[demonboy809]

All This video is compleate bull shit!!! ive been shocked with a hot shot before and it doesnt hurt a 250 lb human so its impossible that it hurts a 1500 lb bull. whats the difference in using shock collers on dogs for training or doing something you want them to do.i dont see any of that in your video. Rodeo are a tradition that has been kept up from the early western days and theres not a damn thing wrong with it.

demonboy: Son, ignorance is not a virtue. You clearly have no concept of the difference between the greater sensitivity to electricity of an equine or even a bovine compared to humans. Furthermore, if the prod doesn't hurt you, why do all you phony cowboys refuse to take a zap when we offer it up?

[sweetbbbygurl]

does the bull rider know when they shock the bull or bronc?

[SHARKonlineorg]

sweetbbbygurl: Can't say for certain, but we would guess that the answer is usually yes.

Dirty bastards !

Incredible how some American can support this horribles things???!!!shame of you!!!!!

[ilovemagichorse]

that makes me sick.

I've been shocked with one before and yea it does hurt but it wouldn't hurt that bull very much at all. If you ask me I would of held to of them on him the whole time he was in the shoot. He would have had a lot better performance tree hugger!!!

[XiongmaoSimba]

Exactly how do you know what a bull feels? Hmm?

[intuzuglen]

@XiongmaoSimba ..... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that being shocked does not feel good. Of couse with the limited intelligence most rodeo people have it isn't suprising that is the best you can come up with

[bermuda201]

if u shock the bull, deoesn't the rider get shocked too?

[SHARKonlineorg]

bermuda: No, it doesn't work that way. Too bad, cause then they wouldn't do it. These guys can't take what they dish out.

[apachiedragon]

I loved rodeo when I was ignorant of all this cruelty. Now I can't even consider going to another one. It makes me sick!

[journeyman47]

Great job once more, SHARK! Once again you have brilliantly shown the world the sleazy cruel side of rodeos. Thanks for spreading the word so well on showing compassion and respect for our fellow animals. Keep it going until rodeos are dumped into the Trash Bin of Bad Ideas of History where they belong, with all the other bonehead ideas like gladiator fights and bear baiting. Thanks!

Great video footage-- how can have an excuse for this... have you thought of sedning this video to the public relations department who manufacture the HOTSHOT... maybe they can put DAve martin and his clown outfir in the hotseat..

[horsetraining2000]

Wow John Your still a peice of crap maybe thats why you only still compete at Dave's low class rodeo's. Grow some balls you have so much potential to make a great rider but you refuse to step up to Professional status go PRCA and start acting like a pro at least the bulls we ride are treated well just look at our performances compared to Daves trash. Remember in youth rodeo Dave saying I dont care about the rider as long as the bulls perform good. But he still showed at D.R.R.'s funeral. Asshole

[bullriderkway]

Where is the owner of these animals when this is happening? All of the stock contractors i know would never let this happen to their animals. Heck iv even seen some stock contractors get in fights with a person that shocked their animals. Now the prod really doesnt hurt the animals, their skin is 7 times thicker than ours, its really no worse to them than a shocking prank gum pack.

[SHARKonlineorg]

bullriderkway: The owner was the announcer, and was watching everything.

[karminou]

I would put those 2 idiots, Leinaweaver & Martin in restrain and i's shock them non stop for all the ones they inflicted on those poor animals.. Be sure that they won't come near our place, never ever... we already banned circuses with animals. Tks SHARK for the good work!!!

[JustaZipOfWhiskey]

Do you consider it "animal abuse" for people to eat meat? I bet you do.

Have you ever seen "companion cattle?" I haven't, I've only seen them used for beef and would be afraid to see otherwise as they can be dangerous animals.

[SHARKonlineorg]

JustaZipOfWhiskey: Why try to change the subject? This is a guy who shocks animals because they are NOT "born to buck." Shocking animals in a chute is cruel, and it's cheating. It's that simple, yes?
