Calf Scramble

Think rodeo is easy? You try catching a calf! Hundreds of kids vie for $1K if they can catch a calf.

Hunters as uneducated? What happens if one day everyone fends for themselves? Can't drive your little Mercedes up to the Walmart. Good luck with that, while that hunter who is apparently "Uneducated" can eat.

@katzdogzk - If you didn't read my comment, I was referring to hunters as uneducated rednecks, not the children in the video. Clearly reading presents it's own challenges for you, only further elucidating my point.

The video doesn't exactly speak strongly to your point that the animals are treated like "royalty." I suppose that in agribusiness, any animal that isn't in a factory farm environment, could be considered as being treated like royalty.

- none of these kids are uneducated rednecks. They do more before 8 than you probably do all day. The projects they buy are treated like royalty and abuse is not tolerated. They animals are respected for what they bring back to the agriculturalists.

Hey... If you are really smart, can you reply to my question? If you were them (animals) and someone was doing something really bad to you, is it fair? Palio gamioli malaka!!

That's a fantastic point. I didn't realize that the only reason that animals were kept in captivity was to protect them for cars!

Up until now the earth managed to keep its population in check without us intervening by thinking we know what it best. This is just human arrogance at work. Even if the overpopulation argument was legitimate, I'd rather the populations be controlled in a planned, humane, and sensible manner rather than by some uneducated rednecks just making a sport out of it.

Fortunately we are HUMANS and capable of intelligent thinking. Cows are not. I am all about treating animals with love but it's people like you who think that humans AREN'T superior to other animals that make me want to scream! If animals and humans are equal then why don't they speak or invent things??? And don't tell me they communicate by mooing, because that is not intelligent thinking.

[afitzie89]

To die in the worst way because they are chasing cattle? Really? You are that naive that you think someone should die a miserable death because they pulled a cow's tail? YOU are backwards, my friend.

Go join PETA so every animal can be free and get hit by cars. Oh, and hunting is necessary to keep wildlife populations in check, for example if wolves over populate they will eventually begin to starve to death after they depleat all their food sources - the same people who support hunting also support the people who bring back endangered species, etc., even if it's just through the money they spend on a license.
