Rodeo Announcer's Lies Exposed!!!

[scout7610725]

Shark you are a miss informed and miss guided SOB. You have no clue on life on a ranch. Steer Roping like that is done every day on a working Ranch to brand or doctor Steers and Calves.

Shark I personally have known Charlie Throckmorton my entire life he is one of the most honest and up standing people l know. What you have done here is nothing more than slander a good mans name.tThe only motor mouth is you sir and you are spouting more BS than A Dairy with 1,000 head milk production.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@scout7610725 Right. Trip and drag steers, injuring them, in order to doctor them. The only ones stupid enough to believe that are rodeo people who don't care they injure animals in order to win prizes.

[TheJkae]

Where do you think you can get away with calling Guthrie backwoods and talk about people like you are. You are nothing of a man. Those guys are more of men than you'll ever be. Get a life. and eat beef.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@TheJkae Men don't abuse animals. Rodeo people do.

[wootfaceful]

All if us have a duty to protect the animals that bring us food and clothing. Most of them lose their lives FOR OUR BENEFIT. And then we rope them so cruelly. What a world we live in.

[ridergirl2000]

These steers go into wrestling and tripping and roping because the owner feels that they are ready for butcher. What's the big deal??? I practice this for a living and nobodies on my ass about doing it, so stop dogging the people who are trying to get into big time deals like the nfr.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@ridergirl2000 ""These steers go into wrestling and tripping and roping because the owner feels that they are ready for butcher."" Thank you for validating our claim that rodeo people don't care about these animals because they're going to slaughter anyway.

[AnimalLeftist]

@ridergirl2000 , why, then, here's an even better idea, and I bet many rodeo people will love it. Just set the steer loose, and chase him down and kill him with knives. Blood, guts and gore! Who can carve the steer up faster? It would be KINDER than this disgusting display of cruelty. You guys should go to Spain, and carve up the bulls there. OH, the fun you could have... Great job, SHARK. There is NOTHING humane about this. For the rodeo to sputter, it IS, is ludicrous.

[mackc6r]

I've seen heavier hits in the NFL

[SHARKonlineorg]

@mackc6r Everyone who participates in the NFL knows the risks. The animals don't have the luxury of choice.

[AnimalLeftist]

@mackc6r , and how well-padded are the steers? I don't see trainers and physiotherapists standing by, to limber up the "players" in this. The cattle didn't sign a million dollar contract. They signed up to be dead.

[happyequine]

Absolutly awful. How would those people like if I lassoed them around the head and dragged them across the arena by horse? Sending them spiraling, flipping, possible killing or seriously injuring them in the process? Didnt think so. I never realized how bad this event really was. Thank you for rasing awareness and informing people about this un necisarry, sad event!

[SHARKonlineorg]

@happyequine Thanks for posting.

[maddtapes]

thank you for creating awareness. god bless you.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@maddtapes We appreciate that, thank you.

[HorseRidingIsOurLife]

would you consider barrel racing, pole bending, and cutting as abuse and cruelty

[SHARKonlineorg]

@HorseRidingIsOurLife We have not witnessed any abject or consistent cruelty in those events.

[2toes82]

Clem McSpadden was a well respected US Representative from Oklahoma. You are an angry sad man that just has to go around looking for something to cry about. Please go take some iron pills to help you live longer.....

[SHARKonlineorg]

@2toes82 And his name is attached to a PRCA event so brutal to the animals, it is not even allowed during the NFR in Las Vegas.

McSpadden approved of steer busting. Nothing respectable about that.

[ilovehorses2255]

i agree with you. how can someone call them self a "real cowboy" if they do this?! real cowboys/ girls respect there horses and cattle. i am going to make a video on this.

[DreamSceneHorseGirl]

I absolutely hate steer roping!!! Most rodeo sports don't bother that much but steer roping is so cruel!! I love horses and most horse events but this makes me so mad. Why is fun to hurt an animal for entertainment?!?!

[jellington351]

This is bullshit. I can't believe they said that, the Humane society wouldn't dare condone cruelty

[sarapaintgirl]

just shut up and keep to you own place they do work with the humane society

[SHARKonlineorg]

@sarapaintgirl No they don't. That's been proven a lie.

[Goodpony96]

@sarapaintgirl

jesus!! you really think they work with the humane society?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WTF?!?! people like you drive me mad!!!

[lucariololol]

man u need to shut the fuck up shit like this happens every day where do u think chicken and steak come from no body gives a fuck about this shit unless they see it and im from oklahoma and i hate city ass mother fuckers like u callin us back water and shit and how u call em "victims and shit what about the "people" that get abused every day huh? u dont give a shit cuz u dont see it

[SHARKonlineorg]

@lucariololol Chickens come from the rodeo? Not the feathered kind, however.

[bamagirl9210]

Why do yall always film under cover?

[SHARKonlineorg]

@bamagirl9210 In the early years, it was necessary. Most of our work is now done in the open so abusers can see we're watching them.

[ChissyMay]

That's a beautiful team of Percherons.

[coolcowpony]

Also wanted to ad, not all rodeo events are cruel.

I see nothing wrong with:

bull riding

break away roping

steer wrestling

barrel racing

bronc riding.

But when animals die for no reason other than entertainment, we need to reevaluate what is acceptable.

[coolcowpony]

I run barrel horses so I'm no stranger to rodeo event.

Like several have mentioned, rodeo is a competition of traditions from the past. Cows were roped and drug over to the fire for branding or butcher.

These animals are being roped, drug, flipped, maimed, and killed for absolutely no good reason other than tradition? Or your entertainment? Sickening|!

[SHARKonlineorg]

coolcowpony: Thanks for your post.

[og53]

I've always wondered what makes those minds tick that pay to see this. Also a second job for brutal cops, sad.

[SHARKonlineorg]

leita1200: So, filthy-mouthed rodeo supporter, please explain to everyone you cursed at why the animals were dragged out of the arena, and why the announcer lied about working in harmony with the AHA.

[leita1200]

Again just like I said before all you guys do is sit on your asses and comment on the videos for attition!

[SHARKonlineorg]

leita1200: Sorry to burst your delusional bubble. We're the ones who actually film these abuses.

btw: very noticeable that you deleted your earlier comment like a cowering coward sitting behind the computer and haven't bothered to answer the question as to why animals were dragged out of the arena and why the announcer lied.

[leita1200]

That was because the animal was hurt and they wanted to go take are of the animal instead of letting it suffer and btw my grandma is a vet and she comes to alot of well known rodeos and she is hardly ever busy at the rodeos! So I highly doubt you people will end rodeo! Us "rodeo" people won't let you god damn fuckin wothless peices of shit stop rodeo

[SHARKonlineorg]

leita1200: Because the animal was hurt. Good for you. You finally get it.

You should also get lessons in civility, Maybe granny can help you there since she's almost never busy while rodeo consistently drags out hurt animals.

[jjclay80105]

interesting to know why the announcer felt the need to say that to the crowd, nevermind lie about it, as the animals were being dragged out. guilty consciences maybe?

[bukstud4u]

That Justin McKee wannabe should quit announcing at rodeos and go do stand-up comedy instead.

[edelweiss54]

Comment des cancres abrutis gagnent des millions en torturant de pauvres animaux sans défense, et en abusant d'un public bien bête et bien crédule !

[buster332211]

if they ban animal crulty why dont they stop this . we should do this to poeple who do not belive this is abuse.

[SHARKonlineorg]

buster332211: Rodeo livestock is exempted from several states' animal cruelty laws so the people can get away with this inside the arena.

[cowgirl22hannah]

honestly, the way of the real cowboys is honorable american history. I LOVE it,but its not rodeo. That was ranching. I do rope,own my own property,and for practice only at a walking pace around the herd. I dont spin them,and i release the rope as soon as it makes it over my target.

[SHARKonlineorg]

cowgirl22hannah: Thanks for your post.

[LonestarCowboy18]

All u fuckers out there that dont kno shit bout the rodeo and its history and all that need ur asses kick cuz obivously ur not educated bout really ranch life u dumb fuckers and I love how you lied about the humane Ass. cuz we do work with them uyou dumb fucks.

[SHARKonlineorg]

LonestarCowboy18: The AHA says different. They know who they associate with, and it's not the rodeo.

[Gizzi1515]

You know what! FUCK YOU!! All you "cowboys" are the same. All you do is go around abusing animals for the fun of it, and when someone confronts you about it all you do is say " you don't know anything about rodeo" or " All you pussies need to get your ass kicked". But you know what, the evidence of the abuse is right there on the video! You people are lower then horse shit in my opinion.

[SHARKonlineorg]

Gizzi1515: Thank you for your comment.

[cammarkgross]

And one more thing! What the hell are you talking about being educated? My dogs have a better grasp on the English language than you!

[Wildberries5]

@LonestarCowboy18

I now so much about rodeos, my dad does them, but I still hate them. My mom owns a ranch in Wyoming, too.

[JacketTalent]

People who can't see that this IS animal cruelty need to re-evaluate themselves and their morals.

[XiongmaoSimba]

"Stressman". He's got the right name, anyway. "Stress man".

[0aniris0]

filthy bitches, they all deserve to get their neck broken by their own horse.

So cruel, and they think it's fun. What a world...

[ladyfirestormy]

Steve you are truly one of my heroes .... i have to take my hat off for all your hard work and the fact that you make these people( and thats hard to call them people) look like idiots time after time ...

Wish your new president can witness these avents and shut them down....

[SHARKonlineorg]

ladyfirestormy: Thanks for your support and kind words. We're not the ones making these rodeo fools look like idiots. They're doing that all on their own.

[RantingMule]

Unbelievable. I mean, you've caught them lying before, but that blatantly??? Wow.

Really unbelievable.

[mcellick]

How dare you! How dare you attack a man who has passed away. You should be ashamed of yourself. You obviously know nothing of the man Clem McSpadden..... really do your research before you name call here.

[SHARKonlineorg]

mcellick: How about you care about living animals that are being abused?

[patzivota22]

so.... the death of someone gives them immunity to the criticism they rightfully deserve?

[1lightspeed]

Alive or dead, each one of us has a moral responsibility towards living as decent a life as possible while we are still here and living. That means being compassionate, responsible to ourselves and other living creatures, and attempting to improve conditions in our 'little corners of the world' while we are here. Rodeos are evil and cruel...if you can't logically ascertain that, then I feel really sorry for you.

[XiongmaoSimba]

@mcellick Thank fuck he's dead if he allowed such disgusting treatment to happen.

[CDLver]

Work in harmony with whom? American Humane? Hah! Now I have heard it all from these animal abusing bottom-dwellers!

I expect no public apology from PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman. I do intend, however, to contact American Humane as a supporter and ask that they demand a public retraction from the lying talking heads of the PRCA!

Good looking out, SHARK!

[SHARKonlineorg]

CDLver: Thanks for being a voice for these animals

[horseluver4everx1]

shark is so right dont think im ever going to drink another coca cola again i love getting your emails shark luv seeing how well you guys are getting on keep at it yous are unstopible !!! alie x

[SHARKonlineorg]

horseluver4everx1: Thanks for your support.

[debel101]

honestly this is the dumbest form of enterainment i have ever seen. its not even fun to watch its pointless

[askalice50]

Nice work, catching them in a bare-faced lie about working with the AHA!

[SHARKonlineorg]

askalice50: Thank you.

[beaelliott]

Yes! That was an excellent move - I like the joke about how to tell when they are lying... I don't think they know how NOT to lie! Thanks for all you do! :)

[SHARKonlineorg]

beaelliott: Thank you.

[moolikeacow2]

Nice job. Way to stay on these dumb fucks.

[SHARKonlineorg]

moolikeacow2: Thanks

[ZeroGal5]

this is awful, why can't people see the pain those young calves are going through. yeah, they weigh more than a grown man, but they're still developing. they're just babies come to think of it. :( i wish people could see past the 'glitz and glamour' of this particular event and do what's best for the animals. rodeos should be people and animal friendly.

[saddleseatrider12]

you guys need to do you resee\arch for one those calves horns arnt even real!! so how is ropen fake horns hurting them. also do you realize how tough a calfs skin is? and the idea of rodeo is back in the day when they had to do this for a living ! so which one of al you likes veal by the way that a cute innoceant calf being killed for just veal cuts

[ZeroGal5]

he's not saying that pulling on the horns (fake or real) hurts them, the sudden jolt of being ripped to the side and tripped is what's hurting them. the poor calves break bones. they may have done this for a living a hundred years ago, but that NEEDED to be done. this is for entertainment, and i personally don't support it. =(

[longtailrat]

saddleseatrider12 How tough are their necks? Or their legs? Being tripped and whipped around like that, man if that doesn't ever injure them they are like freaking Superman! Why do you think they had to be dragged out of the arena? Btw, personally, I don't eat meat or dairy or wear leather etc. (in answer to your question)

[meowvet]

longtailrat: I worked as a meat inspector for four months and got to know meat inspectors from out west. They saw rodeo calves with badly injured necks, broken bones, internal hemorrhage, eye injuries and blood pooled under the skin where the skin was pulled away from the body. No matter how these rodeo people peddle their lies, the meat inspectors see the damage they do to these rodeo animals.

[meowvet]

So how do you explaind the findings of meat inspectors who check rodeo animals at slaughter plants. These animals have badly injured necks, broken bones, internal injuries, hemorrhages, injuries to the trachea and esophagus and eye injuries. I doubt these animals injured themselves.

[sinclaircats]

SICK SICK people who can do this to a calf . What big brave men who do this to an animal who has no chance of escape. AMERICA I AM ASHAMED of you for allowing this to carry on

[kaquafisch]

agreed

[longtailrat]

Sick huh? Is rodeo illegal in Britain? By the way, its not just the U.S., we have rodeo in Canada, it also goes on all over the world...Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Brazil.......

[pauLLLde]

make me sick

[1221solstice2012]

People fuss and moan about the slightest little pain or discomfort they feel. And look at the things they'll allow to be done to precious animals. Animals are not things!!! They are sensitive individuals who suffer and fear harm and therefore deserve kindness from us. This sport is nothing more than legalized animal torture.

[journeyman47]

Great job yet again, SHARK.

I showed this vid to a friend from Romania. She couldn't understand how this kind of cruelty could be legal... and this from someone whose country is ridden with street dogs and animal neglect.

Rodeo is America's great shame, and makes us the laughingstock of Europe (except perhaps for Spain) and the rest of the world. Our international image is already bad enough; isn't it time we stopped this cruel business and stopped looking like clowns to the world?

[Thylacina]

"verbal cow manure"... good choice of words, SHARK, couldn't have put it better myself :-) Keep up the great work! *gives thumbs up*

[coyotefeathers]

I don't understand what is 'American' and 'patriotic' about doing this...

[ZeroGal5]

true to that, personally i think it's an embarrassment to this country.

[Shazzasaloon91]

I wonder how the announcer likes being 'busted'? He dug a big hole for himself and rodeo in general with these outright, and verifiable, lies.

[hugablechicken]

Great job SHARK!

I hate how rodeos make it seem like this is what REAL cowboys do, Real cowboys would never risk hurting their livestock. Instead of coming to a slamming stop like these wannabes the real ones slow down to stop when needing work cattle or other livestock. Rodeos do NOT repesent what real cowboys and cowgirls do, those idiots are simply wannabes!

[jilary145]

i dont understand how people can go to rodeos for enjoyment. something must obviously be wrong with their heads because this is just wrong.

[sunlei5]

Thank you Shark for exposing the lies and abuse! If the few good people in Rodeo will not STEP UP and stop the abuse and lies, then rodeo should be outlawed for the abuse it is. Rodeo is nothing but a cesspool of animal abusers, cheating judges and announcers who lie.

The Humane org should sue that rodeo aswell

[lovesmehorse]

What do these people get out of abusing innocent animals? Pretending to be cowboys,wot a joke, real cowboys value their animals, they don't intentionally cause them harm or use them to amuse themselves. Rodeo shoud be renamed to Rodeoabuse, thats what it, is pure and simple abuse to animals, anyone tying a dog like that would be punished and rightly so. I guess they wear them big hats to hide behind; knowing the abuse they cause....But guess what...we know who you are thanks to SHARK!!!!!

[SinisterSkip]

I've said it and I'll say it again, hurting animals for entertainment = evil sadism. These people are a disgrace to mankind.

[BreezyRulez]

This is sick. Just sick. I hate everything about rodeos, no matter what people say to me. They are sick and inhumane. Steer Busting is the event I hate most. I've been trying to spread the word to all of my friends and my parents, but only one of them has listened to me. The rest think its totally bolonga!! God, if animals could talk. I'd like to whip that announcer's ass. Please keep posting these videos. SHARK IS MY HERO, AND MANY OTHER ANIMALS' TOO!! I SUPPORT SHARK!!!

[SHARKonlineorg]

BreezyRulez: Thanks for speaking up for the animals!

[BreezyRulez]

its no problem, I'm proud to do it. I just wish that more people would listen to me... -_-

[ChrisG40UK]

Disgusting abuse that shames America and us all as a species.

[OrganicTexas]

I can't wait until this cowboy culture dies and we look back and shake our collective heads at having allowed such blatant abuse of animals who never did anything to deserve this treatment.

You can own a ranch and treat your animals humanely, but this type of "entertainment" is just ridiculous and barbaric. Notice that almost all the "cowboys" that participate & manage this abuse always look like world-class douche bags / pricks? Makes'em easy to spot.

Keep up the good work, SHARK!

[SHARKonlineorg]

OrganicTexas: Thanks for caring about the animals, and the Earth.

[illdietommorow]

It's sometimes hard to watch these, how could ANYONE be so cruel to an animal and call it sport?

[hunterman6798]

oh my god im going to email him see if listems to me

[moviemaster132]

i have a friend that thinks rodeos are okay and that they are not doing any cruelty to animals

[dave74x]

Ugh I hate rodeos and the people that work for them, They all need to be shut down, fined, and jailed!! This is sick and cruel. You guys do such a great job on exposing these cowards. Keep up the good work.

[SHARKonlineorg]

dave74x: Thanks.

[boymeetsworldfan3]

this is sooo horrible! i dont get why people find it fun killing animals
