ok i rodeo been around it my whole life and if u think that is animal abbuse ur wrong...the animals used at rodeo get take better care of then probley some of u people...and to me it doesnt look like th horse hit his head on the front of the chute. did u know that if a horse stays down for to long it can cause worst damage then them getting jerked up in the chute

cowgirlrenotx26: There's three little words no one in rodeo can seem to understand: open the gate.

all you animal rights activists are certainly not cowgirls and cowboys. do you ride english on the weekends??? its not like you people actually appreciate all the work the american farmers and ranchers do for our economy. who puts food on your table? where do your clothes come from? something you all take for granted every day and dont even think about the hardships they cause for actual americans. all we suffer through and you try to take away all forms of our entertainment.

KatytheHorseGirl: Animal abuse is not legitimate entertainment.

[KatytheHorseGirl]

yes it is, i sure as hell am entertained by it. competing in it and watching it. although i wouldnt call it animal abuse. those animals are treated better than i fucking am. plus they only work about 7 minutes a year.

KatytheHorseGirl: Please spare us the "7 minutes a year" nonsense. Y'all are the only ones ignorant enough to believe that.

i want to give them a piece of my fist i know stuff cant be conquered with violence but in this abuse case i dont give a hoot

@cowgirlrenotx26 You're an idiot if you think it's ok or justified to torture and torment animals, it is people like you who should not be near animals.

a... small question.

What do you really think when an animal jumps and squirms trying to escape in panic? Do you think that when an animal do this, an act like it's wild, that it's normal, that it's ok?

I think not.

And any act involving stress to the animal, even if it is injuried or not, its cruel and abuse.

This people you see on the video have no respect to animals, and that is what SHARK is showing you. If you get it or not, that's the fact.

OMG!!! these rodeo pple are fucking dumbasses.wen the horse was down, they shouldve oppened teh gate to let him up, not let the fucker on the horse pull him up, wat if the horse freaked out moure and tried to jump over the gate,or reared and get a hoof stuck??the ppl had no right to smack the horse, it just makes em more mad and scared, this all equal ANIMAL CRUELTY.dont think so?LOL then wat is hittin a horse for no reason, forcing it to do something with pain?? this is ridiculous

[goldenstarshipX]

the doctor person is faliure.

[BarrelsPolesandJack]

You are unbelievable. They didn't break any rules. The horse was not injured. When a horse licks their lips, that means that they've figured out what you want. The slobbering is from bucking so hard. Some horses bawl and just throw a fit, while others are more placid and calm. Your organization is really just a waste of time. There was absolutely NO abuse here in this video. They needed to get the horse up because if they let the horse stay in the chute, he could hurt himself even more.

For the broken backed calves etc. there are screens to stop vunerable eyes from seeing the unpleasant side. So why manhandle them whatever injury they may have sustained when it would be humane to put them down immediately? What of the multiple footage I've viewed of injured animals taken out of the arena and hidden in a rear pen, no vet attenance, not evan a kind bullet to end suffering? Surprising considering the loyalty to guns, really!

[feathers666]

Why, when certainly animals do get injured and killed in rodeo, do the vehement supporters scream how fabulous the animals are treated? Though there is some cover up within the horse racing industry about the numbers injured at least mostly they don't force broken legged horses out of pubic view.

[feathers666]

Well then why not open the chute to release the horse? It's not exactly rocket science. Nobody is implying the horse should be dragged to it's feet, though it's telling a rodeo supporter would assume that to be the case.
