Steer Busting at Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo

[Josethetataking]

i like to go to rodeos but this is bad i have cows steers bulls but this is bad

[Freshtodeathforsyth]

With that being said, yes, you do post the worst footage!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@Freshtodeathforsyth ""you do post the worst footage"" We post what happens to the animals.

[Freshtodeathforsyth]

this is a continuation of my last comment: my family is all ranchers (except my moms family who live in Sweden.) We attend a lot if rodeos such as National Western Stock Show Rodeo, Jefferson County Rodeo, Eagle County Rodeo ect. Yes, some of them do do steer busting, but it isn't that fatal. The steers usually get back up after being tied, unlike in your videos where you say in most cases they die!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@Freshtodeathforsyth What good, to any rancher, is an animal with a broken neck or broken legs? Your dimissive attitude of putting animals through this unnecessary activity in the first place for fun and prizes says a lot about the kind of people you and your family are. Not a pretty picture.

[1tylerF]

okay, now I have to admit as a rodeo cowboy, that THAT sport is fucked up

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF It's a PRCA sanctioned event. Going to do anything about it or just let them continue to harm and kill the steers in the name of "rodeo"?

[1tylerF]

@SHARKonlineorg well saying that i can't do anything about it, nor do i really care that much, im just going to sit here and go rope some more steers!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF So you approve of others continuing the animal abuse you yourself call ""fucked up""? Thanks for proving us right about the mentality of rodeo people. You help our mission greatly and we appreciate that.

[1tylerF]

@SHARKonlineorg now wait just a minute, I never said I like it, I just don't see a way I myself can help the problem, and I won't pursue it. and like I said THIS sport of steer busting seems really fucked up indeed. But what can you do? People have practiced it many generations and they see it as a sport, which I can't tell them it's wrong because I bet they have an idea about the things you do are wrong that you don't think so. My point? Don't worry about it if you don't do it your in the clear

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF Being in rodeo, you have the opportunity to help stop the abuse of these animals. Don't have the balls to do that? Fine. But don't complain when you hear people saying rodeo is abusive, because you're helping to keep it that way. Abusing animals is nothing sacred, nothing to be proud of. Grow a set.

[1tylerF]

@SHARKonlineorg No, you're wrong. The area I ride at doesn't do that stuff, therefore, I can't stand up against it because someone already has and doesn't want anything to do with it. I don't either, so if there was this sport I would try and stop it, but there isn't. That's why i said I can't pursue it. Don't think you know everything and going to try to give cowboys a bad name.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF We're not the ones giving rodeo contestants a bad name; you're all doing that on your own.

[1tylerF]

@SHARKonlineorg yeah, you are. posting these videos and saying all rodeos are bad so when ignorant people that know NOTHING about rodeos like yourself, see this they think all rodeos and cowboys are evil. well the more you do that, the more ignorant people think that way. Therefore YOU are giving us a bad name. Not all of us rodeo cowboys do stupid shit like that but you make people think otherwise.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF The ignorance belongs to the people who abuse rodeo animals, or enable the abuse by remaining silent when they see/know something with rodeo is abusive.

[1tylerF]

@SHARKonlineorg so are you saying that there are NO ignorant people thinking that ALL rodeo events (which they aren't) are abusive because they watched this video?

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF We can't speak to what people are thinking. We're showing animal abuse at rodeos. What people see with their own eyes and how that relates to their thoughts is something far from our control. Someone doesn't have to know anything about rodeo to recognize when animals are unnecessarily abused, injured and killed for needless entertainment and prizes.

[1tylerF]

@SHARKonlineorg oh my, there is not animal abuse at all rodeos! in fact, it's rare! only certain cities like Cheyenne, Wyoming and some in Oregon do this. The way your video is set up, it seems like ALL rodeos are like that. they're not.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@1tylerF Steer busting is at more rodeos than you think.

[tubbyfatty1]

awww poor cows i am going to cry and i dont give a SHIT WHAT ENYONE THINKS ABOUT THIS COMMENT!!!

[TESgamingcontrol]

Damn... They do some awesome flips.(sadly)

[lacassine40]

people who dont like this can go get fucked, rodeo is the oldest american sport there is and if you dont like what rodeo is about then your not a good american

[SHARKonlineorg]

@lacassine40 Animal abusers are 'good Americans'? Moronic post of the day.

[Shokara2]

What I want to know is where are the authorities? You hit a dog.. you go to jail. You starve an animal... you go to jail... You break a calf's neck in PUBLIC... in full view of people who PAY to see you do it... Nothing happens at all!? Why aren't these guys in jail???

[SHARKonlineorg]

@Shokara2 Wyoming specifically exempts rodeo from its animal cruelty laws, which means animal abuse is legal in Wyoming rodeo arenas.

[Shokara2]

Real cowboys on the range would NEVER do this because every single cow represents money that they need to keep thier farms and ranches running. If they DID go around 'steer busting' all their babies, they wouldnt have anything to send to slaughter and would go out of business very quickly. I know many REAL cowboys and not ONE of them does this.. in fact most of the ones I know find rodeos to be about shock value and 'sport' and NOT about being a REAL cowboy.

[XiongmaoSimba]

It sickens me what happens at these events. And that people take their children along and teach them that it's great fun and everything's peachy. -_-

[jessieslate10]

in between your rodeos, go to your meat packing plant and see how those animals are treated. by eating their food you are supporting them

[SHARKonlineorg]

@jessieslate10 No doubt you approve of the cruelty in slaughter plants.

[jessieslate10]

do you eat beef?

[SHARKonlineorg]

@jessieslate10 What does that have to do with harming animals for entertainment in a rodeo?

[bmanky]

@SHARKonlineorg

if you can survive without meat, then apparently you are eating it because you like it...aka, for its entertainment value.

[jessieslate10]

why dont you try to stop this when it is happening?

[SHARKonlineorg]

@jessieslate10 Your question about stopping it should be to the people running the event and harming the animals.

[jessieslate10]

ok shark thats enough. we see your drift, but the problem is that your not showing people the whole thing. and if you are so distraught about it why dont you walk down there and say somethin and ask some questions instead of hiding behind your camera? COWARD!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@jessieslate10 We don't hide. We sit right out in the open and film the animals getting harmed, which you apparently have fun watching.

Cowards are those who harm animals for pleasure and those who take pleasure in cheering them on.

[normalguyable]

stop abusing using animals for this perverted sport, all you care about is money not the animals!

[iamzachtilley]

Don't these "cowboys" know that they could be making veal instead?!

[FreeSoulToo]

I wish all of the people who ever done steer busting or helped people to do it to get steer busted in hell

[liberalpower12]

Yeah this event isn't even practiced officially by the PRCA. This is just wrong. I love rodeo, but this isn't worthy to be anywhere in the sport.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@liberalpower12 Steer busting (original name), now called "single steer roping" (more politically correct and benign sounding) is very much an official PRCA event, and includes participants such as Trevor Brazile and Cody Ohl. You are right, it should have no place in rodeo or anywhere else. The PRCA won't bring the steer busting finals to the Las Vegas NFR. Instead, those finals are moved around to various small towns in Oklahoma, New Mexico or Texas a little before the Las Vegas event.

[Ladylovley88]

why are people such ass holes, poor steers </3

[beaelliott]

Absolutely sickening! Can't believe this kind of treatment to an animal is legal! Shame on the U.S. for it's backward, primitive form of "entertainment". How embarrassing to our "humane" species!

[TheTylewis]

wow i have never seen this done but i am a rodeo cowboy and i do not ever want to see it its bullshit and hotshots arent as bad as u think i have been shocked by on plenty of times

[SHARKonlineorg]

@TheTylewis Your current PRCA AA Trevor Brazile is a past champion of this event, and his current near $80K winnings in it are included in his AA standings. If you ever get a chance to talk to him, please tell him what you think about this event. Thank you.

[rw4fun]

We do this on a daily basis on as many as 20 a day on the ranch to doctor the clalves. It is the only means of doing so most of the time. Then length of time, and the stress on an animal with IBR it would take to get it to the working pens would undoubtedly kill it in transit. So make it a competition for cowboys? YES!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@rw4fun You trip steers on a full run and then drag them , breaking limbs, horns and necks in order to doctor them?

[Cedimixer]

fucking americans!!!!

[pigeon929]

well harsh

[ilovedarleen]

dumb hicks

[MrAshlands1]

Tis is unreal behaviour human wtf!!!!!!!!!!

[BillyHowardReno]

I saw a calf die at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1995. The roper didn't get his time in and dragged the helpless steer-child across the sand, packing his face. No one was surprised when it was announced the calf had died.

IN my state--the wildest of the west, NEVADA--THIS not-anything-like-a-sport IS OUTLAWED.

[nevadagirls101]

STOP STEER BUSTING!!!!! i love Rodeo, and support it the best i can but THIS is wrong!! i say i get on my horse and rope all of them and drag them by their damn throats down the arena...

@ Pugmo, your a damn idiot.... i hope you get hit by a bus...

[2487scott]

Love Cheyenne frontier days and I think you need to see it for yourself in person before you rush to judgement. God bless america...oops did I offend anyone there...I don't care!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@2487scott ""you need to see it for yourself in person before you rush to judgement."" We're looking at it through the lenses of our cameras, brainiac. And guess what? We're documenting the animal being injured for your loving entertainment. 

[CowboyUp11442255]

It aint bad always... Its right bout the tradition... and its gonna be a tradition forever. Rodeo is the best sport.

[SnausageNuhBlanket]

How are they not hurt when they are jerked JERKED to the ground and then can't get up? my anatomy teacher would break drop dead if he saw this. those horns are apart of their skull. They are DRAGGING them by their skull and yanking them. Its a wonder they don't have fking whiplash. Anyone who agrees with this is really .....just ugh.

[skiwalker30340]

I'd like to see Cowboy busting!

[Gistheway]

this is fucken culture.

and u may as well go chop off your own youngue if all your gonna do is say false shit.

u only use the bad clips. out of hundreds of ANIMALS these steers are the toop athletes, who may have gotten knocked around a little but they aint hurt.

survival of the fittest.

u gunzle ass vagina willow!!

[Bandit2Bandit]

Shark, Keep up the good work finding these animal abusers.

[SHARKonlineorg]

Bandit2Bandit: Thank you

[jtburckley]

I love rodeo, but thats just terrible

[iluvgiorodriguez]

fuckbitch that made me cry

[ckyfreak187]

i wanna do what the guys on the horses are doing but instead of using steers i wanna use the guys on the horses

i dispise animal cruelty i treat it the same way i treat seeing a man hitting a woman

i would gladly treat them they way they are treating the animals

[pugmo]

lol its an ANIMAL.

its not our equal, and its not deserving of the same treatment as everyone human.

lol yeah that stumbling one wasn't feeling too good, but c'mon, assuming injured?

ever been knocked around a bit? your fine but a blow to the head makes you stumble for a while.

and yeah, i think this event is kinda f'd, but these really are hand picked videos of exceptional brutality, not the standard sporting.

Go cry somewhere else like bullfighting events, thats cruel.. AND A CULTURE.

[SHARKonlineorg]

pugmo:""but these really are hand picked videos of exceptional brutality, not the standard sporting."" What you see in this video is the normal brutality, not exception, of this event.

[funkymunkystepho]

@pugmo You are absolutely disgusting. You assume that is its an animal, its right for you to cause pain to them. Wow. You, sir, need to grow up.

[zalcia97]

Stupid people !

[sara2n4tay]

It is a sport.... you people over exagerate it... this is a life style for many people..You people only do half of your job you only watch... maybe if you did some research you would understand the ways.. these animals are treated very well.

[SHARKonlineorg]

sara2n4tay: ""these animals are treated very well."

That you can say that under a video where steers are roped (some around the eyes), tripped, lifted and spun in the air, slammed to the ground, dragged with their faces and horns plowing through the dirt demonstrates just how out of touch with reality you are.

[simonpcaines]

I always thought SPORT involved competing against an opponent on equal terms? Truly barbaric excuse for human entertainment. Make the rider run and get roped just to prove that it really doesn't hurt. Call yourself a civilised nation?

[bmxbrussels]

I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

i will do the same with you MOTHA!

[polarisman31]

pretty much no rodeo do this anymore all this gayshits at the cheyynne rodeo

[SHARKonlineorg]

polarisman31: You're pretty much mistaken.

[broncsandbarrels]

I rodeo and LOVE rodeo but do not think this should be a sport in rodeo. And it really isnt anymore...the only place that I have ever seen it was in Cheyenne.

[SHARKonlineorg]

broncsandbarrels: Pendleton does it during regular shows. It's mostly done during slack at other venues.

[MSFyup]

yeah duh Cheyenne banned cameras, you idiot shark people take everything and turn it bad, cheyenne did the right thing by not giving you any more videos to twist to make you feel like you're doing something. you guys are the biggest idiots. you act like this happens every time a steer is roped. dumb.

[SHARKonlineorg]

MSFyup: The 'duh' belongs to you. We have several 2009 CFD videos up already, with more to come.

And we don't have to twist anything about rodeo to make it look bad. Ya'll do that just fine yourselves.

[TheBrooke1234]

well tell the big bad mother fucker to come on, the only one thatll be cryin is mr. president...you wanna know why well lemme tell ya why...im going to take a baby pig cut him into pieces shove the pieces down his fuckin throat and ask him if he wants a tomatoe and mayoniase with that. and whoever you are , your about the biggest fag ive ever had a conversation with, i bet you get what ten cocks shoved in your ass a day.

[SHARKonlineorg]

TheBrooke1234: The representative of the rodeo world speaks again. Keep showing everyone what a rodeo person is.

[kelliefan1017]

Not all rodeo people talk like that retard. So please dont put us all in a group with him. I am serious!

[TheBrooke1234]

steve you liberal tree huggin dick suckin mother fucker, if you'd get those bull nuts out of your mouth you could probably come up with some good comebacks. i wish they would put you in a cow shoot and run you out and trip you ya sick child molestin bastard. rodeo aint goin no where so how bout you climb in your big bad honda element and ride off the side of a cliff.

[SHARKonlineorg]

TheBrooke1234: Now you're coming into your own, you cowboy wannabe. You're showing us just what a rodeo person is really like, and you truly are a good representative of the industry. Sorry though, I'm not SHARK's president. But you really don't want to meet him. He tends to make posers like you cry.

[TheAlliehall]

Rodeo is an American tradition and a great supporter of the agricultural industry. By taking away rodeo you take away the culture and history of the American west. The animals in the CFD Rodeo livestock are treated fairly, but still as animals. Animals injured during any of the events are cared for just as any human would be at CFD. People who experience the western way of life have more love and appreciation for their animals than anyone.

[SHARKonlineorg]

TheAlliehall: Yes indeed, the video shows just how much y'all "love and appreciate" the animals.

Denial is the foundation of rodeo.

[GoGadgetHookerClean]

You americans are really ignorant to the fact that other agricultural industries survive without Rodeo...and the majority of your agricultural industry is corn. No one wants your beef....except Mcdonalds.

[TheBrooke1234]

your the sick one you cow dick suckin bastard how bout you come up with some new comeback since you use the same one everytime u dick fuck

[SHARKonlineorg]

TheBrooke1234: Don't hold back, you cowboy wannabe. Show everyone the real you.

[TheBrooke1234]

is that your faggot voice talkin on these videos steve? sounds like you do a lot of cock suckin in your spare time. i think you like cows a little too much, maybe enough to suck their cocks.

[SHARKonlineorg]

TheBrooke1234: Thanks for showing the world the sick, twisted mind of a rodeo person.

[whoacowgrl]

Remmber Yakima Canutt??? He was the BEST stunt man in history and also worked with John Wayne! His clame to FAME was Don't hurt the people or ANIMALS!!  Yes rodeos make theyre money and living of these deals! But remmber no matter what wrong they all do to animals! There is ONE Judge that will show them right from wrong and TRUTH! Just to bad Rodeos couldn't do theyre animal money making deals different. Don't know how! But maybe someday. The Lord is watching!!

[cummens]

Are you fucking serious? You people piss me off you fucking tree huggers.

[SHARKonlineorg]

cummens: Oh yes, we're serious.

[TheBrooke1234]

its a god damn cow you ignorant fuck, if it kills the stupid son of a bitch somebody'll just eat it next week, are you a vegetarian you child molestin son of a bitch? grow some balls you fuckin cunt dont come to wagon train we'll rope your ass and trip u down the side of the street.

[SHARKonlineorg]

TheBrooke1234: You are certainly a rodeo person. Thanks for showing the world what you people are like.

[brbk33]

What you see on the video was never intended as an event. The back story of the event is that when the cowboys were out on the range, they would rope a steer that strayed away from the herd and drag it back. It's as simple as that. Also, saddly enough Cheyenne Frontier Days is one of the few rodeos that still exhibit this event.

[ahulb]

Really come on!!! It is a sport. I team rope. is that cruel too? People make there living with these events. As far as shark making rodeo event look bad you do! if someone who watches these videos know how the rodeo word works they can tell you only focus on the worst which in reality is only accidents. Somebody needs to get a life and let people do what they love!

[SHARKonlineorg]

ahulb: We're all for people doing what they love, so long as others don't have to suffer in the process. Steer busting is inherently cruel and dangerous to the animals. This is not a sport, it's just abuse. This video is not a standout. This is steer busting in all it's brutal violence.

[4theA]

This happens at EVERY steer "busting" event. It takes a real coward to do this. Team roping is even worse. Roping the head, and someone else roping the feet at the same time -- ever heard of "the rack" in medieval times to torture people to death? It's the equivalent, Can't you use your (limited) brainpower to do ANYTHING else but abuse animals for a living??? You ALL sicken me to the core. We WILL prevail; sit back and watch.

[stevemallen1]

Ahulb:

Shark is doing something to promote awareness about the animal ABUSE taking place at these rodeo's. These "accidents" as you coined them are unacceptable.

[Hatarue]

I think it might be human nature? I mean this makes me think of wrestling at a hockey game. Everyone loves a good bloody fist fight at a hockey game, some people just go to hockey games for the fight and i belive some hockey players get paid to put on a good fight to. So i guess some people just like violence. I hope i dont meet too many people like that im my life i'd be very discusted by them,...

[ilovepreciousjim]

ya well its the peoples choice at at hockey game to fight but these poor defencless animals have know say in this

[LyraTheArabian]

This is not real Animal Cruelty.

[feathers666]

Please, by all means explain what you consider Animal Cruelty to be.

[psemojo]

why is it that SHARK online is the only one that shows steer busting (tripping)?

[SHARKonlineorg]

psemojo: SHARK is the organization that does most rodeo investigations. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the sanctioning body for steer busting, isn't going to show it cause they know what they're doing is wrong.

[jeremybrons56693]

go cheyenne yaaaaaaaa fyaa f the coww

[farmwife87]

Ive been to Cheyenne frontier days and it was the best rodeo i have ever been to i will definitely go back. Steer Tripping was started out on the range when cowboys would be by there selves checking cattle they would rope the calf and trip it then doctor it. Now it is a sport so i see no problem with it i love rodeo and always will.

[SHARKonlineorg]

farmwife: People who care nothing about the victims think rodeo is great. People who can feel for the suffering of others are opposed.

[kelliefan1017]

Well SHARK I love to rodeo, an I feel bad when the animals get seriously hurt. So rodeo people do car.

[femone]

You have got to be kidding. If you REALLY cared you would not love to rodeo!!!!

[4theA]

THINK! What if this poor steer was YOUR DOG???? How would you feel about it then? Would you still say it's just a "sport" and these are just "accidents"???

[4theA]

Pardon the pun, but bullsh**! I was raised on a ranch and we NEVER roped a calf/streer - that's what our "cow horses" were for. That kind of roping is for effect and is deadly, not what "real" cowboys do or did.

[Wolfy375]

You are the most fucking stupid person ive ever seen. U dont rope but ur cow horses do? WAT? You go ontop of cow horses and rope. I hope u know that. I rope and have videos i get paid to take care of cattle. You ROPE TO GIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION!! I dont like how these steers are roped tho i admit but other types of roping is better for the cow than anyone

[SHARKonlineorg]

Wolfy375: Don't like getting shown up, do ya? Better get used to it. The world is learning about rodeos, and that trend will only grow stronger.

[Wolfy375]

I SAID TRIPPING IS NOT AN IDEAL WAY TO ROPE but roping is still a noble practice. Like saying I dont like sports players who cheat but i love the sport

[4theA]

Also, we didn't put bulls in a chute and shock them with flank straps on to ride them bucking on a timer. Tell me where that is part of our "heritage" in America! Same with horses. No shocking, flank straps or spurs on green horses. Cowards.

[Grynet007]

Still going on?? =(

[SHARKonlineorg]

Grynet: Yes, unfortunately.

[bibud82]

i do not like the steer busting but i like rodeo

[00zrobertson00]

the ropes not across his eyes dumbass..

and no shit the rope is "hard and coarse..its a rope"..thats what they make horn wraps for..

you fags make it seem like people in rodeos have NO care whatsoever what happens to the animals when in fact theres tons of precautions that are taken to try to ensure their safety...those animals arent cheap, they get taken care of a lot better than some people do..

[6327isc]

00zrobertson00 - Yes, they are cheap. Corriente cattle on most occasions go for, on average, 500 a head. That's cheap. On another note - If there are ensured precautions.. Then why are steers still carried away limp and paralized? Again and again? . . And don't think you know more than us. We actually study this stuff.. You just watch it.

[kelliefan1017]

Who cares if they get sold for only 500 dollars. It takes money to feed these animals! So they have alot of money into them.

[bm4nu]

6327isc, 500 bucks is cheap? Can you send me a couple thousand? you'll never miss it. Well I guess if you compare it to fuel prices it don't seem so bad. But I still think 500 bucks is a far sum of cash. But what do I know I'm just a poor rancher.

[SHARKonlineorg]

00zrobertson00: The rope does often go over the eyes. When it is on video, what is the point of arguing, other than you just can't handle the truth?

[TheTigershark]

Sure, you piece of sh***, half of the steers immediately have their neck broke, very humane indeed. Taken care of? Come on, get REAL man! How would you like it to run in one direction and then being thrown in the air by a rope around your head/neck and pulled in the opposite direction? think before you write....Jesus....humanity and so called "sports" like this just don't go together, hands down.

[wkeenen1]

Your crazy animal loving, tree huggin' right wing, liberal, salad eattin' faggot's. Why don't you stop talking about things you don't understand, it just shows your ignorance.

[wkeenen1]

How is this any different than football?? Do you realize that more people are injured playing football than the amount of animals that we use in rodeos. You tree hugging Faggots need to grab both your ears and pull to you hear a loud pop, then you know you have your head out of your butt

[6327isc]

wkeenen1 - Football players do it by choice. With pounds of padding.

[wkeenen1]

How is these any different than a tough and rough game of football??? You animals rights people need to quite hugging trees and go jump off a cliff. By the way the comment a bout you don't see hot branding done in rodeo, oh Have you ever seen a ranch rodeo, they do hot brandding, casterating and roping so shut your mouth and go hugg another tree or perhaps go suck your beloved dog off or something

[animalsangel2008]

I hope one day this people will be murder by a higher power. They dont have the right to live!!! SHAME ON USA!

[6327isc]

Okay that's really really sad - The very first steer shown was the most beautiful I've seen. And I bet it is dead now. I wonder what the average lifespan of these Corriente Steers are.

[eckelheft28]

Wake up - the intention may not be abusive but the outome sure the hell is. Just because they did it back in "the old days" isn't a justifiable reason because... times have changed. Evidentally the animals are in distress.. therefore it is abuse.. psychological abuse. I sure as hell wouldn't appreciate being bent backwards on a fucking rope thats for sure.

[sharonmanster]

I hate the steer tripping event. It sure would be nice if they would change the rodeo events to get back to more like how they do it on the ranch, where the animal is protected and the point is NOT to injure the animal. And if an injury DOES happen, it is treated right away.

[bm4nu]

sharonmanster, steer roping is one of rodeos original events dating back to the beginning of rodeo. The only event older is saddle bronc riding.

[standingatthedoor]

Absolutely disgusting. How many cowboys would be able to get up and walk away if it was them on the end of that rope? This is farthest thing from a sport as rodeo supporters claim. Rodeo is so cruel to these defenseless critters.

[solitarywanderer]

So Cruel

[GotThatPMA]

Too bad those little guys get so hurt , it kind of diminishes the tuff guy persona that these cowboys are trying to convey .

[steertripper77]

Another great video of a great part of our american heritage. Mr. Hindi has no idea what he is talking about. He won't show people that most steers don't even stay down when tripped, the bounce right back up. He just edits the videos to make it look bad.

[SHARKonlineorg]

steertripper: You and your kind are the lowest of the low. You don't hang your head in shame only because of your utter lack of any ethic whatsoever. There's a reason why the Dodge City Roundup has its entire event of steer busting in slack -- not one single run during regular performances. Despicable doesn't even begin to describe what you do. Even other rodeo people know that. You can't even fill a small arena like Amarillo or Hobbs. Now get back to whatever slimehole you crawled out of.

[steertripper77]

Once again Hindi, you act like a 3 year old and won't address my claims. You deliberately edit videos to make them look bad and when called out on it, you put people down like a young kid pitching a fit.

[SHARKonlineorg]

steertripper: I am not him. This is an organization, not one person. It's laughable that anyone in rodeo would claim "editing" when televised rodeos edit out the clotheslining of calves and steers, and of course all injuries and deaths. This same rodeo industry doesn't release animal injury/death reports, or humane violators or their supposed punishment, cause there almost never is any.

Sorry if you can't handle straight talk, but the video shows what it shows, and you are what you are.

[hannah82nz]

I hate u stupid fucking americans - i see no need for any of u!! I used to stand up for u as i was sure u couldnt all be bad but whats the point?

As far as i can see there is not a real man amoung u!

U make me sick u there is not another country anywhere inc in the middle east where u can find such low levels of inteallgence.

i hope china bombs the lot of u -

SHAME ON EVERYONE OF YOU FOR ALLOWING THINGS LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN

[xxitsmyfault]

wow, grow up. I'm pretty sure the people who made this video are AMERICAN and they're trying to CHANGE what cowboys do to cattle.

Shut your mouth until you know what you're talking about. I'm sure more people are against this than are for this. Quit profiling.

First off it has nothin to do with americans eaither and you cant say that were the only ones hurting cattle. Look at spain where the mastadoors kill the poor bulls after the make them run around. OF cource this is crulty theese rodeos but its not just americans!!

You hate all Americans and hope China bombs us? Nice post. Why does SHARK not remove this post? As if ALL americans have control over this. WE DONT! I hate this event and do what I can to stop it. But they have the freedom to do it. For now.

sharonmaster: After consideration, we did not remove this post because we think it important to show how American rodeo is hurting our image in the world. Had we eliminated the post, it would have played to the worst of the poster's misconceptions of America.

That said, we also wanted Americans to have a chance to respond, and to set the record straight. There are rodeos in other places other than America, and it certainly is primarily Americans who are fighting against rodeo animal abuse.

do you not think that it is possible to send a video of them with a wounded animal? i will not be offended i have seen dead animal and humans. humans are harder to handle seing dead than animals because it is a human

[IndianPonyRider15]

how is it easier to see animals killed than humans? that doesnt make any sense because their lives are equal to ours so really i think u need to get a life
