Horses Shocked at Pendleton Rodeo

The 2007 Pendleton Round-Up -- supposedly one of the biggest and best rodeos in the world. This video exposes Pendleton, its stock contractor Ike Sankey and contestants for shocking tame, domesticated horses to make them appear wild, as rodeo judges witness the violations and do nothing.

It's worth mentioning that the East Oregonian, a local Pendleton newspaper that brownnosed the rodeo to an embarassing degree, has failed to cover any of the overwhelming abuses documented by SHARK investigators. Furthermore, the East Oregonian also provides a trophy for the animal abusers at the rodeo. So much for journalistic integrity at the East Oregonian.

@m4a142 ""so u believe the riders like when the broncs get shocked? no we fuckin dont "" Nice lie. The rider has the final say. And if you need the names of more rodeo contractors, google.

@SHARKonlineorg so u believe the riders like when the broncs get shocked? no we fuckin dont haha and if think we slaughter all the horses tht are not rank than ur stupid. horses tht r not rank do not make it into big time rodeos they r used in bronc schools to help teach younger kids how to ride. and horses are nothing like cattle they dont get sent to be slaughtered i have never heard of one bronc sent to be killed also sankey rosser and vold are only three stock contractors name me more haha

@m4a142 ""horses hearts are not meant to take one of those hotsots thats why most hotshots are not used in rodeos"" And yet we have video upon video of horses being shocked with HotShots at rodeos coast to coast, border to border. And yes, rodeo is a major supplier to horse slaughter plants.

@SHARKonlineorg first of all motherfucker, horses hearts are not meant to take one of those hotsots thats why most hotshots are not used in rodeos plus they are only used when a bronc stalls in the chute i personally rode a bronc in billings last week n the stock contractor wanted to shock it because it stalled in the chute but i told him to fuck off. You see that im saying contestants dont like when the broncs get shocked, and the broncs dont get slaughtered r u fucking retarded?

eastern o, They don't support non rodeo people, I lived in the area from 94-2003. I reported the same thing and they did nothing, I'm not alone at least. Pendleton round up is only abuse.

@cutter2766 I support rodeo but that was a really dumb comment.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@capleasure That's a rather stupid comment on your part. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to shock, kick or bloody any animal in order to win a prize.

[capleasure]

@SHARKonlineorg Would you rather these cowboys take their spurs and put holes or bloody their sides from kicking or a shock prod that is no more sever then a dog shock collar.. Dog 100 pounds, horse 1200 plus pounds?

@dwwilliams72 SHARK has well over 100 videos on YouTube exposing rodeo's stock contractors, from large to small, including Rosser, Vold, Sankey and many others. Our videos show cruelty. Argue and moan all you want, it is what it is.

"without the tools of torture, there can be no rodeo." Total BS!!!! I've been to plenty and bucked out on my share of bulls. NOT ONE TIME was a hot shot or any "tool of torture". You need to understand that these animals are athletes too and are the stock contractors' paycheck. If they torture them or kill them, they loose money. Some bucking stock is valued at more than $50,000 and some have been offered over $1 mil for one animal. You stereotype the entire industry but only show one individual
