depending on where you are depends if you wear a cowboy hat on the range or a baseball cap, in certain states the cowboy hats will get in the way because of how the weather is, for example because of the angle of how the sun sits in the sky and the wind and also depending on how cold or warm it is will also come into consideration, i live in texas on a ranch and we all wear cowboy hats and cowboy boots are not all pointed and slip on/off. But thanks for appreciating what we do.
This is amazing. I respect people like this. :) I have a long history of true cowboys in my family (not the one that perform in rodeos). I find those pointed boots so stupid. XD
I would just like to say that there are some real cowboys in other areas. Not all are like the rodeo preps. By the way, thanks for doing this...it opens eyes.
Buck Brannaman wears the silly get up, but he is a true honest to goodness Cowboy. I have never seen him do anything to harm another living being on purpose, unlike those clowns at rodeo. You should check out the documentary that just came out on DVD of him! What a story he has : )
and rodeo clowns (not just the ones in make up, mind you) make me sick.
omg how pretty! do you know what blm office they are in? or if theyll be taken to others? if any end up in nebraska i would love to adopt one! I just got a 3yo mustang mare that was born in nevada and sent up to the nebraska blm holding center and i just love her! and a burros are just so cute!
rodeo came from stuff they did at ranches but just put it in a level who's better at. real cowboys are the ones out there at sunrise doctoring, sorting, cattle and so on. when it comes to it we rope down the calve, might get drag a little, big deal. its part of the job. real cowboys do wear the hats, boots btw.
I think that your organization is the dumb you are wasting your time im going to keep team roping.Also i use those to practice heeling with cause thats the only thing they are good for!
@1999cumminsdually "" i use those to practice heeling with cause thats the only thing they are good for"" And we thank you for demonstrating to everyone that you're good for nothing but harassing animals to make believe you're a man.
@SHARKonlineorg Trust me my friend they were going to make money off this. They're going sell them to ranchers or anyone who gives them a good buck for the animals.
@Sharkonlineorg There's not much difference between these "real" cowboys and rodeo contestants. Obviously these "real" cowboys are not going to mishandle the animals because they're going to sell the animal after they capture it. The rodeo contestants don't care because the animal is not of any use after the contest. It's going straight to the slaughter. Either way they don't care about the animal, these people got their own agendas under the facade of "cowboy."
@Redtsar999 You say rodeo animals afterwards "goes straight to the slaughter," so – your implication seems to be – it's all right to abuse them beforehand. I don't follow that logic. And I'm not a bleeding heart; I believe in capital punishment, and torture as a military option, but not in cruelty simply to provide amusement. The Bible has a great command, at Exodus 23:19. "You shall not boil a kid [a young goat] in its mother's milk." Why not? Out of respect, just out of respect.
why is this the only people you interveiwed outside of rodeos? Why dont you do more videos of real working ranches in different part of the country to give people a look at what cowboys have to do to handle a large number of cattle?
@kyletray We're an animal abuse investigation organization, that's why we're at rodeos filming the make-believe cowboys harassing, harming and killing animals for fun and prizes.
eal cowboys here in the south plains of texas and panhandle wear the hats. boots. spurs and cinch shirts and cinch jeans....but over here it is REALLY easy 2 tell the real cowboys from the posers...but we dont wear thos gay ass pointy toed boots we wear square toed boots..much more reliable and the hats....its soo hot down here it blocks the sun and it is necesarry but we wear it a certain style....its wide brimmed and the brim is shaped 2 a 90 degree angle on the sides so it isnt in the way

my riding barn just adopted 3 rescue horses that were being abused! they are still very cautious, but i try to spend a lot of time with them. so glad my riding instructor rescued them!!!!! oh, and one of the rescue horses was pregnant and she just had her filly! =D
@1x93cm It's a western thing. Big money in cattle. They claim the horses are depleting the public range where cattlemen can free range their private herds at the taxpayers' expense. Ken Salazar being appointed Secy of Interior by Pres. Obama has helped condemn the future of our wild horses futher.
@AZcowpuncher With all the steers we've documented getting broken horns, broken limbs, broken necks, death, it's safe to say rodeo people can't rope for shit, either.
Do you guys realize the purpose of calf roping, steer wrestling, etc? Hell ya'll probably think cutting is abuse too. I can almost guarantee all of your "real cowboys" have been to a rope and drag branding or two. I dont doubt that they're cowboys and can ride and rope but I think your organization needs to rethink what you call abuse and start looking into real animal abuse such as tying a show horses head in the air, or how people weight gaited horses feet.
@WyoCowgirl509 How many ranchers you know release an already-chuted animal so it can be chased only to be roped from a full run, then thrown down in order to doctor it?
How many ranchers actually wrestle down steers when doing so may be in rocky or other areas where the rider can break legs, and which could also bring them far from where the doctoring and branding is being done?
i honestly think that you guys who make these videos are great for not only you are showing how much you care about animals but actually doing something about it, i think that is really loving... and cool xx
This is a great video and you guys are a great organization! Keep doing what you do!
Is there a place I can get a complete list of rodeo sponsors? I see various names in all of your videos but I just want to get a complete list so I know where to go and where not to! thanks!
I totaly understand your care and concern for the animals but you put out false information to make your cause sound so much better and it makes you look like a liar. You ay all the negative things about rodeo cowboys and their cowboy hats yet three of your real cowboys have on cowboyhats, Your real cowboys stood there and said the boots they wear were what most all cowboys wear exactly go to a rodeo i challange you to fine one just ONE rodeo cowboy with the pointed toe boots
@Welch131 Sadly, when man creates 'problems' as they consider these animals to be, the only remedy chosen by those in charge is always annihilation. As a whole, humankind is not given to admitting wrongdoing, holding people accountable, or teaching better methods of dealing with something, particularly animal care and overbreeding. Mankind has become a do-what we-want-and-destroy-it-when-we're-done-with-it species. Intelligence and common sense are becoming as extinct as the Passenger Pigeon.
No not a single physical animal injury but look at all the psychological harm you caused them by chasing after them with that big noisey monster above their heads chasing them down oh yes much better! ( sarcasm yay).....
I thought that this video would be about people actually using burros in the rodeos.. lolllll was I wrong! I personally don't have a problem with rodeos because I love western sporting. I've been to rodeos before and they treat their animals with great respect. You just can't find any vids on here that don't make a PETA argument. Don't reply to this, I'm not trying to argue with anyone, just stating my opinion ;D
@RowdyCowgirl0601 You rodeo people are something else. What, we're not entirely sure. First you all complain when we're not sitting at the computer to answer your nonsense right away, then you complain when we do answer you. No wonder you can't tell the right or wrong about animal abuse. You're all clueless.
@RowdyCowgirl0601 Biased? Only against people who abuse or excuse/defend the abuse of animals. We have no respect for that kind of person; they don't deserve any.
@SHARKonlineorg Why do people celebrate Christmas or the 4th of July? Tradition. Even though most rodeo events didn't practicality even when the were first started it was a way to show skills of the working men, (wranglers i believe). If i was a bull i would love to be on the rodeo circuit. My only commitments would be for 8 seconds and then when i retire i get to sell my sperm. Sounds like a dream.
@alphaeaglethyme7 You're right. It is a dream. Only a few bulls ever reach the point where their genes are desired to be passed on. And nowadays, the harvesting and setting of seed is mostly done by artificial means. As for 'only' 8 seconds, you don't count the time you're locked in a trailer crowded with other bulls, forced to stand in your own waste? Or the days on end you're in unsheltered pens outside the rodeo grounds, standing in barren dirt or mud, again lolling about in your own waste?
insolt my intelect wow thats real mature of a company to do that
i gater cows i ware a cowboy hat boots chaps and a big buckel so that make me fake even tho i gater cows brand short but no im fake ............. that make sens ?
amarica was founded buy cowboys and rodieos i know at least 15 'poser' cowboys thay go and gather cows so whats that make them you pepole are redickules
Ya go back to school if these guys were real cowboys they wouldn't need the chopper to chase them out of the hills. Back in the day they did it wearing their cowboy hats and chaps and did all the old fashioned hard way, so grow up you tree huggers
@SHARKonlineorg BUY???? really!?!? Do you mean BY??? Maybe you should go back to school and try your history lesson again. Been around this my whole life. You really have no knowledge of the way of life of country folk. The REAL cowboys. Has nothing to do with the way you dress or the "cowboy boots" or "cowboy hats" or the "big belts". If you wear that apparel it does not mean that you are a "poser" It just simply means you know what you are and you are proud of it and you wanna show it off.
@southerngirlsountry WANNA????? really!?!?!? Do you mean WANT TO??? Maybe you should go back to school... See how stupid you sound? btw: We didn't use the word buy for by, we were quoting another poster. See the quotation marks? But then, you apparently think ""amarica was founded buy cowboys and rodieos "" as well, so there's your intelligence, or lack thereof.
i am doing my part i dont have enough money to save every wild mustang they bring in i dont believe they should even be caught and sold maybe yall can do something about that!!!!!!!!
@hisbabygirl828 You don't need money, your voice is what matters. Let your state reps know how you feel, demand they listen to public sentiment about these horses which are icons of our country, and demand protection for them.
Lend your voice to the organizations/individuals who are on the front lines fighting for them. Madeleine Pickens is one, google for her group/information and help them help the horses..
i have a question if rodeos are bad then how about blm and all the slaughtering that goes on? y is it u expose somethings but not blm? blm has killed many animals maybe u ought to look in to it
@hisbabygirl828 There are orgs that focus on the BLM and slaughterhouses. We focus on rodeo abuse. One organization cannot do it all. And what are you doing about the BLM and slaughterhouses since you have an issue about them?
Burros are beautiful and smart I have a mini burro they are great :] we go into the huge pasture I have and we let Rascel(my donkey) run lol and we practice ropin him hes never been hurt and we do it just like this hahaha sumtimes we call him "mustang" lol but I always miss but hes great and this is sooo true..thanks for posting this :D
These guys ARE professionals in what they do-they have compassion for these burros and are GENTLE in every aspect..10 thumbs up for these guys! Here on youtube, dont know which video, there is a story of wild mustang/breed? herd up, where they are chased for 10-30 miles, exhausting the horses, even very pregnant mares who went into premature labor, and damaging the hoofs of foals, laming them for life. No water or feed was present thru the taping(ugh!!)--This video represent the true American =)
1st off rodeo is to bring real cowboys up close for the public. and how many times did i see these real cowboys miss while roping. rodeo is timed so that their is competition to see who does their job the best. and all rodeo events take place on an actual ranch roping to doctor animals on the range bronc riding to tame the horses the only two that are made up are bull riding and steer wrestling in which they so off the skills they have aquired on a ranch
@sargentrocks Doctoring animals is not done to a time clock in order to get the fastest time to win prizes. Ranch work keeps the animal's safety and welfare in mind. Rodeo is all about human bravado and winning prizes/money.
True, using kindness and patience will tame the wildest mustang and burro, but other real wild animals like elk, moose, deer, cougars, bears, wolves, bison, and more will get the snot kicked out of you (or face torn off). Admire these creature from a distance. Don't try to feed them. A Feral wild animal is different then a Real wild animal. Admire wild animals from a distance and don't molest them or feed them. Does not turn out will for the animal.
You know, I didn't see a single one of those yanked back, broken limbed, paralyzed from a broken back, tripped or abused beyond being scared. Hm. It almost also seemed like the riders ensured they were going the same speed as the burros as to prevent any yanking back etc.
But, of course, the stuff seen in the rodeo ring portrays this perfectly. Taking their time, care and effort to put the animal's life first.
Hi SHARK, great channel. Reading through the comments to your vids leads me to ask the question... when did inbred rednecks learn to use the internet???
@SHARKonlineorg Nothing happens by accident. Don't you know your creationist theory? God made each and every animal unique, so we would never get bored thinking up new ways to torture & kill them.
@raptorlaserbeam Sounds as if you have the rodeo mentality pegged. Most posters do use God and the bible to defend their right to use and abuse the animals.
you call rodeo abuse when they go roping wild burro's and taking them off of the range? taking anything of the range is cruel they don't know how to live any were else
@350fordchick US Park Rangers were scheduled to shoot them. Sorry if it disappoints you that these people saved the burros' lives. By the way, they are doing well in their new homes. Alive and well. Again, sorry that disappoints you.
Those are too cowboy boots. lol. They are ariats. that is what I wear. Ariat ropers. well they are wearing laceups. I prefer the pull ons. You gotta wear cowboy boots for riding, it is a safety thing. I helped a friend adopt a burro and 2 BLM mustangs. They are now someone's best trail and show horses. 11yrs old now.
You idiots do know that the steaks and beef you eat was KILLED so you could eat it, right. I think that if the cow had a choice he would take a rope to a bullet any day. The wild beast are tuff animals. They are animals do any of you drive cars with leather seats or have leather furniture at home. Dang find a real cause like killing them dogies and feeding the little swollen gut people of the poor countries of the world. now pass the damn ketchup. Partner.
These guys have got some real skill there. Would like to join them on a ride would learn so much. I don't like cowboy boots either I always think people that wear them are strange- like the idiots you get in the UK trying to be western gosh they are weirdo's. thank you Shark for this.
@ImmaHorseGurl Those helicopters aren't as close as you think. also the pilots are very good and very professional. They are not going to risk their life just to capture a burro. You would more likely see a police helicopter crash before you would see one of those guys hit a burro.
@ImmaHorseGurl Helicopters are used all the time on many big ranches and at the BLM roundups. So if you have a problem about using them, contact stock contractor Dave Catoor and the BLM.
Everything in from rodeo comes directly from "the real west". The rodeo "industry" has been around long before hollywood. Rodeo came directly from the working practices of cattle herding. Maybe the most hollywood event is PBR, and the riders walk away hurt almost every time and the bulls trots away unharmed. If you have a problem with rodeo then i dont understand why you are trying to identify with "real" cowboys, because that is where rodeo came from.
@htg04 Where exactly in the 'real west' working practices of cattle herding does bull riding fit in? Why was bulldogging only invented in the 20th century? The same goes for the wild horse races. Why are animals consistently injured at rodeos when keeping them healthy is the purpose in ranching?
Rodeo was not an 'industry' before Hollywood. It was a traveling sideshow.
It still is, just bigger, more money for the contestants and meaner to the animals.
@SHARKonlineorg i can disgree with that in mexico in private property theres always rodeo u can find videos my people back home dont wear john wayne costumes thats just the way to dress its been like that since forever but i have my almost respect for the men in the video it does take with all due respect allot of balls to sacrifice time to go save animals that i can agree with
@htg04 rodeo is just sick entertainment. Rodeo orgs won't even release the stats on animal injuries, why would that be? something to hide? Rodeo has as much in common with real cowboys as the circus does to natural conditions for tigers and elephants.
instead of probaly snapping a baby's neck with that "busting" why cant they just rope them and make the horse stop then just pull the rope so its tight and get the calf. Its better to let them learn its all a game (if thats what they did like these cowboys.) then live in fear and death like they do now.
someone i know runs a cattle business, and i have watched a few brandings, they always make sure that the calf is not hurt before they brand, tag and vaccinate
x3 I love this video. It definately shows how calm and gentle a real cowboy is compared to those idiots in a Rodeo. If I were to ever have a chance to ride with a real cowboy or even a real cowgirl, I'd love to do it. People who do rodeos don't know the meaning of a true rider, if you ask me, a true rider has to be in good bond, connection, and have nothing but respect and love for their partner. I'd happily give my life for any of my horses...And my Donkey!
Steve i have enjoyd this video absolutley; this is the real life not those butchering idiots in rodeo arena's.
Let the "coca-cola compagnie" sponsor this good work what these real cowboy's and people are doing for these 'wild burros' also greated by people from Europe that came in to this country afther Columbus and they left these animals defent for them selfs in the wild when they could not find what they where looking for.
These are the sort of cowboys people should look up to, not mediocre hollywood-style wannabes. These are respectable role models too, unlike rodeo ones.
you have totally changed my view of rodeo sports i always thought ther was something dodgy about the cattle sports but never knew how serious it was. thank you for showing this horrible sport for what it realy is. i have definetley subscribed to your channel :) you talk alot of sense especialy the sea world and orca treatment which i never new happend iether
amybe when imolder ill opena center for all rodeo animals that have been hurt (well as many as i can manage) but a nice one whereits more like a friendly farm than a rodeo
Our country was founded on the belief of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And the freedom for all. Of course we have a slightly different approach today. Today our freedom, thru a different " breed" of men, is to torture and abuse rodeo animals, fowel, or any species...The real cowboys here in this video are doing their humble job in a humane way of protecting the wild burros, with respect and care.
The western boots also has purpose, Vaqueros also had the opportunity to buy lace up boots or pull on. The pull on was prefered for its ruggedness, how fast u can pull them on, sometimes ull even have to sleep with them on,or go through a river. The heel is also very handy so u wont slep through,and if it wasnt ur day and u fell off ur horse but ur boot managed to get stuck ur foot would slep out, and save more humiliation. and u dont have to waste time tying the laces.
hi, i come from a long line of ranchers, and cowboys. The cowboy hat came from the mexican sombrero, if u look at an old Sear and Robuck catalog ull see that all the western hats were called sombreros. The Sombreros design was not for show but for functionality to shade u from the sun, and rain.
on the trail the cowboy hats (like stetsons) the high heeled boots performed necessary functions the hat different from modern design but still wide brimmed protected the rider from the sun and provided insulated the slim rounded point in the high heeled boot made it easy to put in thestirrup and the heel kept the fott from sliding through the stirrup these
there are no real cowboys still around they gave out at the end of the trail driving days they rode trail such as the the Chisolm trail and the Goodnight-Loving trail and had positions such as drag, flank, point and swing riders, to work the cattle wrangler to work the remuda (extra horse used to to keep a fresh horse under the the drovers or cowboys) trail boss in charge scouts and cooks

*Shrugs* well most of the ranchers I know cant afford that so they use horses or pickups.
Ok, I'll admit it some of those ropers are butt holes. It just sounds like your blaming the whole circut. like the PBR and stuff.
I guess I was offended because my friend ropes, and my uncle rides bulls.
Sorry for yelling.

@AZcowpuncher With all the steers we've documented getting broken horns, broken limbs, broken necks, death, it's safe to say rodeo people can't rope for shit, either.
SHARKonlineorg 9 months ago
Do you guys realize the purpose of calf roping, steer wrestling, etc? Hell ya'll probably think cutting is abuse too. I can almost guarantee all of your "real cowboys" have been to a rope and drag branding or two. I dont doubt that they're cowboys and can ride and rope but I think your organization needs to rethink what you call abuse and start looking into real animal abuse such as tying a show horses head in the air, or how people weight gaited horses feet.
WyoCowgirl509 10 months ago
@WyoCowgirl509 How many ranchers you know release an already-chuted animal so it can be chased only to be roped from a full run, then thrown down in order to doctor it?
How many ranchers actually wrestle down steers when doing so may be in rocky or other areas where the rider can break legs, and which could also bring them far from where the doctoring and branding is being done?

@Welch131 Sadly, when man creates 'problems' as they consider these animals to be, the only remedy chosen by those in charge is always annihilation. As a whole, humankind is not given to admitting wrongdoing, holding people accountable, or teaching better methods of dealing with something, particularly animal care and overbreeding. Mankind has become a do-what we-want-and-destroy-it-when-we're-done-with-it species. Intelligence and common sense are becoming as extinct as the Passenger Pigeon.

@alphaeaglethyme7 You're right. It is a dream. Only a few bulls ever reach the point where their genes are desired to be passed on. And nowadays, the harvesting and setting of seed is mostly done by artificial means. As for 'only' 8 seconds, you don't count the time you're locked in a trailer crowded with other bulls, forced to stand in your own waste? Or the days on end you're in unsheltered pens outside the rodeo grounds, standing in barren dirt or mud, again lolling about in your own waste?

1st off rodeo is to bring real cowboys up close for the public. and how many times did i see these real cowboys miss while roping. rodeo is timed so that their is competition to see who does their job the best. and all rodeo events take place on an actual ranch roping to doctor animals on the range bronc riding to tame the horses the only two that are made up are bull riding and steer wrestling in which they so off the skills they have aquired on a ranch

True, using kindness and patience will tame the wildest mustang and burro, but other real wild animals like elk, moose, deer, cougars, bears, wolves, bison, and more will get the snot kicked out of you (or face torn off). Admire these creature from a distance. Don't try to feed them. A Feral wild animal is different then a Real wild animal. Admire wild animals from a distance and don't molest them or feed them. Does not turn out will for the animal.

You know, I didn't see a single one of those yanked back, broken limbed, paralyzed from a broken back, tripped or abused beyond being scared. Hm. It almost also seemed like the riders ensured they were going the same speed as the burros as to prevent any yanking back etc.
But, of course, the stuff seen in the rodeo ring portrays this perfectly. Taking their time, care and effort to put the animal's life first.
Not. ¬¬

Everything in from rodeo comes directly from "the real west". The rodeo "industry" has been around long before hollywood. Rodeo came directly from the working practices of cattle herding. Maybe the most hollywood event is PBR, and the riders walk away hurt almost every time and the bulls trots away unharmed. If you have a problem with rodeo then i dont understand why you are trying to identify with "real" cowboys, because that is where rodeo came from.
htg04 1 year ago
@htg04 Where exactly in the 'real west' working practices of cattle herding does bull riding fit in? Why was bulldogging only invented in the 20th century? The same goes for the wild horse races. Why are animals consistently injured at rodeos when keeping them healthy is the purpose in ranching?
Rodeo was not an 'industry' before Hollywood. It was a traveling sideshow.
It still is, just bigger, more money for the contestants and meaner to the animals.

instead of probaly snapping a baby's neck with that "busting" why cant they just rope them and make the horse stop then just pull the rope so its tight and get the calf. Its better to let them learn its all a game (if thats what they did like these cowboys.) then live in fear and death like they do now.

If I were to ever have a chance to ride with a real cowboy or even a real cowgirl, I'd love to do it. People who do rodeos don't know the meaning of a true rider, if you ask me, a true rider has to be in good bond, connection, and have nothing but respect and love for their partner. I'd happily give my life for any of my horses...And my Donkey!

The western boots also has purpose, Vaqueros also had the opportunity to buy lace up boots or pull on. The pull on was prefered for its ruggedness, how fast u can pull them on, sometimes ull even have to sleep with them on,or go through a river. The heel is also very handy so u wont slep through,and if it wasnt ur day and u fell off ur horse but ur boot managed to get stuck ur foot would slep out, and save more humiliation. and u dont have to waste time tying the laces.

hi, i come from a long line of ranchers, and cowboys. The cowboy hat came from the mexican sombrero, if u look at an old Sear and Robuck catalog ull see that all the western hats were called sombreros. The Sombreros design was not for show but for functionality to shade u from the sun, and rain.
