Life of a stock contractor: Kelly Armstrong

[AnimalLeftist]

"The quickest way to handle stock is slowly". oxymoron alert! PLEASE, explain why tie-down roping is even acceptable, then? The Wild Pony Race? The Broncs? (I won't mention the bulls, no-one in their right mind would WANT to piss off a bull.) ANY of the timed animal events? Note to Mr. Contractor, these are not people. You don't pay them a cent. They make you money. The bucking/struggling/thrashing movements that the animals "perform", can and do injure them. Pretty backward thinking, to me.

@AnimalLeftist He is talking about when you are handling them, not when you are riding them or have them in rodeos. If you are trying to move bulls, cattle, or horses if you are slow and calm the animals will respond the same way. It is said that bulls have a .004% chance of having a life threatening injury while in the PBR. Yes, certain motions may hurt the animal but he said they inspect all the animals weekly PRIOR to competition. Listen to the whole video, not just what you want to hear.

If I would pick 1 rodeo, it would be the Calgary Stampede. All rodeos should treat their animals like this Stampede. & I must say, I'm not the biggest rodeo fan. Keep up the great work everyone !!
