Why couldn't the bull have killed the dumb ass cowboy? The Bull would have been the real hero. Rodeo is a form of animal abuse and the people who frequent this senseless activity are simply worthless. Then again, look at the types of people who participate in this, dumb country morons! The more participants injured by Bulls the better!
@LAFD54 Rodeo isn't animal abuse at all. The animals are trained to do what they do, and they love to do it. You are the worthless, stereotyping, piece of shit. I compete in the Bareback Bronc Riding, and I don't take too kindly to being called a "Dumb country moron." I'm very well educated, thank you very much, and you know nothing of rodeo, and nothing of life. Get out of your shell and live a little.
@Alexandros1294 , oh, yes, for a whole YEAR!! With such experience, man, you are the grand pooh-bah of rodeo! Rodeo is for kids. I just figured that out. Kids LIKE to watch violence, it's all they know, from playing their video war games. Animals have no choice in this matter. You do. Boycott rodeo, until they stop the abuse. Why, just the other day, I saw a steer out in the field practicing his head-stands! "Trained for this". Tormented for this,so you can have fun, atthe expenseof the animal.
@Alexandros1294 not all the time, I understand that some are, but I have alot of experiance with rodeos, with protests etc.
look at the bulls hips the have a rope tied round which is putting pressure on their kidney area and will be causing major discomfort towards the bull.
but some rodeos put a fluffy cover over the rope which makes it comfy for the bull.
Also, in rodeos the bulls are intimidated and scared which makes it do more damage which is what the people want.
@ollyluvsya Actually, the flank strap (the rope you speak of) is on pretty loose. It has to be on tight enough to stay on, but loose enough so it doesn't cause discomfort. The bulls are not scared either. What the hell can a human do to scare a bull? They're trained to buck from a very young age. If they were intimidated and scared, they wouldn't be doing their job. It's our job to keep them as comfortable as possible.
@ollyluvsya Besides, all the flank is there for is to straighten the motion. The bull is going to buck with out it anyway, but when the motion is straightened, it's safer for the animal and the rider both, and it helps the bull/horse buck with more athletic ability.
@Alexandros1294, oh, my, you really have the bullshit down pat, don't ya? The flank is there, because without it, they don't buck. What idiots you children are..
@feathers666 Spoken like a true PETArd. Have you ever been to a stock contractor's ranch? Have you ever talked to anyone and seen how they raise these animals before? No. So don't tell me they kill the ones that don't buck. They are trained to buck before they are two years old. They all will buck.
@Alexandros1294 PETA are are bad as you lot of equal obsessives. You are more like each other than you realise. For normal, reasonable people it's not that much to ask to respect the animals. You will find it difficult to argue that youngstock/steers are regularly treated like shit. Nothing but walking meat to the corrupt and moneygrubbing organisation you honour so. Instead of bitching at people how about campaining to end the disgusting steer roping/busting or whatever they call it now, eh?
@feathers666 What's so terrible about steer roping? Atleast they are roping full grown steers in that event, rather than calves. I fail to see how calves and steers are "treated like shit" as well. They work for a few seconds, get wrestled or roped, and then they slack the ropes off, let go, whatever, and then they go on their way and go get fed until the next rodeo.
@Alexandros1294 Have you actually watched steer roping in a rodeo? In no way is it connected to genuine ranch handling (in fact little of the rodeo actually does) as there the animals are valued and valuable. The game played in the area is solely for speed and points. The animals, particularly youngstock on the way to factory, are expendable in pursuit of prestige in whatever form it takes for the so called competitor. It's not difficult to find footage of a seriously injured animal still used.
@feathers666 Unless you go to a ranch rodeo, you're not going to see true genuine ranch raised events. It's evolved into a show. If they're going to die anyway, why not use them for entertainment? It's not like they are tortured in rodeos. They are just used for entertainment. You can't have a good rodeo performance without animals that are healthy, uninjured, and know what they're doing. Bucking stock tends to last at a ranch for a long time btw.
@feathers666 and I have never seen seriously injured animals used in competition before. How would that even work, even if we wanted to use them? In order to get fast times, and high points, you need to have animals that are healthy, well taken care of, and uninjured. It's in our best interests to respect and take care of the animals, because they are athletes just as much as we are.
@Alexandros1294 I'm talking about when a steer/calf in badly injured during roping and the cowboy continues his 'run'. Tying up an animal after he breaks it's leg or injured its spine still instead of calling it off and requesting assistance. That is just ambition and greed gone mad. And not it's not going to restrain the animal further injury or whatever prepared bullshit I expect to hear. It's only going to create far more pain and distress. And never the corrupt organisation ever penalise.
@feathers666 When you have a lot of adrenaline in your system, and you're competing in anything, you're typically not too aware of what's going on. You are focusing on what you need to do. If they break a calf's leg, they usually don't know it until after the run is over anyway. Do you think they like hurting animals? No.
@feathers666 Ambition and greed gone mad for finishing a run? So does that make all professional athletes ambitious and greedy to the extreme? Sure ambitious, but greed? Unless you're great at the sport you compete in, you don't win a whole lot of money doing it.
@feathers666 Like I said, when you're "in the zone" as athletes call it, you wouldn't even notice until you were done. Most competitors do not intentionally hurt the stock.
@Alexandros1294 Oh balls, that's just a pathetic excuse. Granted it's not done intentionally but the very competitiveness preclueds the awareness that they are living breathing animals, basically they learn not to care. And what of their treatment afterwards? Often sent for slaughter instead of putting them down, that's if the survive initially. I'm animal welfare, certainly not animal rights, that's very different. But I still accept both sides can see cruelty and ignorance. So should you.
@feathers666 Hey, I never said there weren't things wrong with the sport. I'll be honest with you, I don't like the timed events at all. Not only are they boring, but that is where the majority of injuries happen. They used to use a lot bigger stock for timed events, but those pussies whined and whined until regulations in the PRCA set much smaller weight limits on calves. They get hurt a lot more now.
@feathers666 I'm animal welfare as well. If you look at PRCA stock over the years, timed event stock got smaller and smaller, and rough stock has gotten bigger, faster, and stronger. So you tell me who's gotten the short end of the stick and who's getting catered to, merely for the sake of easier competition, rather than safety of the stock and competitor.
For Gods Sake...Dont take any crap from these whack jobs especially when they call you and us Cunts. I read the whole thread and you went well above what would be asked of you. These buttheads will use any angle to try to shame and guilt us. They have malice in their hearts. Not love for animals and acceptance of any Cowboy...They have an fantasy animal respect ideology and a utopian feeling with it. Wierdos..Good job holding your own..Somewhat...Haha...
@feathers666 and not to mention, rodeo is how a lot of competitors pay their bills. Some might do it because they have no other choice. If you don't win, you don't get paid, that's that.
@Alexandros1294 Presumtive AND insulting. Boy you are a rodeo fan. I do know good broncs and bucking bulls are valued and named, (I never make comments without knowing what I'm talking about, thank you). Often kept for a couple of years if they peform well. What of all the rest that are only on a bypass for slaughter/dude drives etc? For some of this game (morning steer 'busting') there is not even an audience so no profit. Why do they have to keep doing it. Ego much or just because they can?
@feathers666 Whether there's an audience or not, the show will go on. We enjoy competing too much to not put one on. So I guess that would go under "just because they can." It's just like how if nobody shows up to your game, you still play, because you love it so much. The profit from Steer roping comes from the competitors. All competitors pay an entry fee to compete, and their winnings come out of the entry fees.
@Alexandros1294 Surely it'll be good to mix the schedule, after all? The misinformed all-American families are usually easily pleased when a differently marked/coloured animal reappears all happy and well after one fatally injured is sledded off. Little difference. If I appear patronising by that comment note I'm not the one distracting them with waffle and assurances of all will be well when an animal is killed in the arena as often happens. Crowd treated almost as bad as some of your animals.
@feathers666 I've been to more rodeos than I can even count. Yeah I've seen an animal injured here and there. Accidents happen. I have never seen one killed though. In a perfect world, none of this would happen, but we don't live in a perfect world. In any equestrian sport, there are going to be animal injuries as well as human injuries. It just happens. Nobody wants it to happen. We do everything we can to prevent injury to animals, but it happens on occasion.
@Alexandros1294 Still no mention of traditional values but a lot of concern about profit, like I imagined already. I already know you are out to make money. On another note I certainly presume you have doctors or an ambulance, that's important for you. Tell me, do you have a vet in attendance? Even if so why are seriously injured animals often not put down immediately like I have seen?
@feathers666 Have you looked at what the top 15 competitors in each event earn annually? The world champion each year only earns $200,000. That's a middle class wage, and that's only if you're the best! You don't get rich by competing in rodeo. I do it because I enjoy it. It's an extreme sport. Traditional values of the West are more for ranch rodeos. Rodeos that you see are just another sporting event with cowboy attire. I don't consider myself a real cowboy.
@Alexandros1294 That much is clear. Fine if you like it, the ones who like it far more are those sitting on their well fed asses and shuffling around in semi-expensive suits(most too miserable to buy Armani and suchlike). Certainly it's all about the money as all corporations are. But also this 'sport' is extremely unscrupulous to both animals and, to an extent, people alike. Their only worry is media interest if a competitor was found to have been injured throught their neglect. Hush hush. etc.
@feathers666 I don't consider it unscrupulous to animals. I know a lot of stock contractors who love their animals very much, and take care of them a lot better than they take care of themselves. To an extent, all corporations are corrupt, but really, the PRCA is not a very rich association. Rodeo is not something you get rich off of, period. Really, the ones who compete or have hands in it are the ones who enjoy it.
@feathers666 and yes, all of the major Rodeo associations require a vet to be at the arena as long as competition or slack is going on. Seriously injured animals are not put down on the spot because there are times when they can be healed. There are bucking horses and bulls that have thousands and even millions of dollars spent to put them through surgery so they can compete again.
I was there! :D
