Good post, and one others should look to when forming their opinions on the subject. You have been there and done that.whispering hands said:As someone who did all these things for ten years on working ranches alm over the country. I can assure you, that while some 'Cowboys' are just general all found assholes even to the animals, the TRUE Cowboys have the utmost respect for the animals under their care. This is an age old sport, and his argument is just as old. These skills are used even still today on all operational ranches; hence the continuing popularity of rodeos. As for abuse, yes, it occurs, as it dies in virtually all animal sport. But to be honest, rodeo animal abuse is wayyyyyyy down on the list, after horse racing, and three day eventing.. And there are always going to be injuries, no matter the sport. ( just a unique note. Did you know they train those horses to buck?? The Bulls they just seed strap them. There's a flank strap just up under their penis sheaths.. That makes them
Buck.. But a horse can be taught to be still or lose his shit.. That was the best job ever!!)
