A rodeo person throws riding chaps at a rodeo horse as he bucks out of a chute. Neither the rodeo judges or anyone else says a thing. And they call this legitimate sport???

On the bright side, in 2008 the Cheyenne Frontier Days committee promised to eliminate electric prods used on animals in chutes, and they stood by their promise. SHARK hopes that is a sign of more positive steps in the future.

  • It's not a endangerment to the animal its to make them buck rather than run and cause the rider a low score. Don't be stupid

  • @lilbullrider96 And if the horse's legs tangle in them? ""cause the rider a low score"" It's all about the contestants winning prizes with no concern about the animals.

  • @wildblue168 Then it's not a job. It's a hobby.

  • @SHARKonlineorg Yes, their job is risking their finances....they have no set pay, no hourly wages. They only get paid if they win, and if it happens to be a bad day, and they happen to draw a bad horse/bull, a fast calf or steer or just have a run of bad luck...they don't get paid. Yes there is considerable financial risk in their job. Sav vy?

  • @wildblue168 ""it's their job.."" ""risking their own life, health, and finances"" So their job is risking their finances? Why does that not make sense?

  • @SHARKonlineorg It's a way of life, and it's their job...and it's not an easy life. If all these people wanted to do was "have fun" and "harass animals" I bet they could think of ways to do that without risking their own life, health, and finances...but they don't. I wonder why?

  • @wildblue168 If the purpose of rodeo is not to win prizes and have fun, aside from harassing and harming animals, what is its purpose?

  • @SHARKonlineorg Fun and prizes?? Like what? Broken bones? Long hours of driving? Getting bucked off? If they wanted fun and prizes they would go to a carnival an throw darts at balloons..........And since we only see this tiny clip of the ride how do we know that the judges didn't say something to the guy? Also, how did it change the behavior of the horse???

  • Skunks spray for defense, horses run first for defense then they can manuver and kick a predator pretty handily. He was trying to do what comes naturally.

  • Horses run for their defense. Skunks spray and Horses run. They also kick with accuracy. The horse was going to run you're right. So why do you think that is?

    well I rodeod years ago but now I won't go to one. It's not what it once was. I'll keep my bucks!
