Baby Horses Abused at 2010 Cheyenne Rodeo

Cheyenne just seems to love to harm animals. In 2010 we've seen horses, calves, steers and bulls all victimized and hurt. A number of animals have lost their lives. This video shows that even very young foals are targets for the animal abusers of Cheyenne.

See how they treat baby horses at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.

I'm not dismissing it. I raise horses and would NEVER treat my horses that way. But, we humans sometimes get too carried away with what we term "abuse". How far did the foals run? Not far. Have you ever seen a mare walk away from her sleeping foal in a field? The foal wakes up and runs in a "panic" to it's mother across 20 acres? Have you ever seen a broodmare kick HER OWN FOAL in the head, and kill it? I have. What would you say about the mare?

@Sligeah Comparing nature and natural instincts to human's deliberate misuse of animals for fun and prizes doesn't work. Humans have the choice whether or not to put animals in potentially dangerous situations for fun and prizes. And they should bear the consequences of their decision. Animal instinct is a natural reaction, not chosen or deliberated.

While I do not agree with what went on here, horses can hurt themselves with no help from humans. Yes, the foal hit the rail, but he was obviously fine. He hit his neck at the on a muscular area, so the likelyhood of damage was slight. I've seen mares kick foals out in the pasture harded than that. Don't like that either, but it happens.

@Sligeah How can you not agree with what they're doing if you're dismissive about the humans' responsibility for what happens to these animals after putting the young animals, still in their formative years, in this dangerous, stressful situation in the first place?

ya they should have checked on the baby but it wasnt anyones fault the baby tryed to jump the fence and failed

@BoabomIspwnage You don't believe the humans who put that scard animal in that stressful and dangerous situation in the first place are at fault?

[spike17181]

yes it is their fault becouse they scared the horses so when they started running they were in panic and on of them was obviosly so paniced it tried to jump the fence

@leeannmcd This responder has personally rescued and retrained abused rodeo horses. Want to try again?

[leeannmcd]

@SHARKonlineorg LOL! I thought so...you might want to actually OWN a horse before you think someone is abusing them!

@leeannmcd Physically owning a horse has nothing to do with realizing, with common sense, that putting a foal in this kind of dangerous, stressful situation for no reason but to win a prize and brag about it is is absolutely not necessary and shows complete indifference to the animals' health and welfare.
