Is California on its way to banning rodeos? Behind the growing movement to buck the event

Quick and merciful! Lol! It’s anything but that. Rodeo animals are well treated and treated with respect .

 

I’m sure that humans living in less than optimal conditions during their lives would prefer to be instantly put to death instead…

 

Keith Martin, Chairman of the Board for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association: "Do I think it hurts the calf? Sure I do. I'm not stupid."

 

Pesticides are next because they are harmful to bugs.

 

The injured animals, which all will become, are sent to the same slaughter house that animals reared for meat are sent to. You clearly make up things. The one difference is that rodeo animals are tortured all their short life until they end up at the slaughter house

 

You do not what ??

Of course for you being against animal abuse is micro-managing.


AND you can't address:

YOU go into the rodeo arena and run as fast as you can and a cowboy will ride up behind you, lasso you around the throat, and throw you to the ground by your neck.....how will it feel ?

OH, and since you have NO voice, no way to protest...you can't protest...

But wait, they do that to baby cows so I guess running down human children and lassoing them around the throat would be a better analogy and go over better with rodeo fans !!!

AFTERALL, IT DOESN'T HURT AT ALL so why not ?????

 

At least he is honest about it, unlike people on here who seem to think they are doing the animal a favor by exploiting it.

 

How about I just continue to enjoy rodeos and your strange posts instead? lol


Dr. Eddie Taylor stated that in 16 years as an attending veterinarian at PRCA rodeos in Arizona, "I personally have not seen a serious neck injury to a tie-down roping calf."[2] Statistically, the rate of injury to the animals is relatively low. In 1994, a survey of 28 sanctioned rodeos was conducted by on-site independent veterinarians. Reviewing 33,991 animal runs, the injury rate was documented at 0.047%, or less than five-hundredths of one percent.[3]

A study of rodeo animals in Australia found a similar injury rate. Basic injuries occurred at a rate of 0.072 percent, or one in 1405, with injuries requiring veterinary attention at 0.036 percent, or one injury in every 2810 times the animal was used, and transport, yarding and competition were all included in the study.[4]

A later PRCA survey of 60,971 animal performances at 198 rodeo performances and 73 sections of "slack" indicated 27 animals were injured, again approximately five-hundredths of 1 percent – 0.0004.[2]

Calf roping - Wikipedia

Livestock Welfare Rules | PRCA Sports News (prorodeo.com)

• Weight limitations are set for both calves (between 220 and 280 pounds) and steers (450-650 pounds).
• • A no-jerk-down rule provides for fines if a contestant jerks a calf over backwards in tie-down roping.

 

Strange coming from an abortion advocate.

 

You think a 1600+ bull is suffering trying to throw off a 160lb rider?

10 Things You Didn’t Know About the Bulls of PBR (arlington.org)

I've tossed calves as ground crew on a remote operation. Cowboys would rope a calf near where we were. One of us would toss and tie them and release the cowboy to go get another calf. We'd dehorn, give injections of growth hormones and some sort of medicine, cut off their nuts with a pocket knife, brand them and get the iron back on the fire, and let them go. It was seriously hard work when you do it 10 hrs a day. One year we were late, so the calves were large and took a lot of energy and technique.

It's not how it's done anywhere there is electricity and squeeze chutes. There were lots of volunteer cowboys who loved the old west aspect, especially given that they didn't have to dismount!

What we did was for the food chain.

I'd be more concerned about what we're teaching our kids than whether calves are injured.

I don't believe we would have seen native Americans chasing their food around a ring for sport.

 

What's the concern? Nobody wants any of these animals injured and the links I provided show it is rare.

Why would that be?

What have women's rights got to do with animal abuse by those who deny animals are abused????

 

"Bullies are psychotic cowards who love to harm those who can't fight back."

 

It doesn't prove they aren't hurt.....and gee, the info from the National finals rodeo link would be soooooooo unbiased LOL


Sorry your 'entertainment " options are so narrow

OK, you can't explain....you seem to be very limited in what you can address...


.You didn't answer the question:
Hey, how about a new event (obviously rodeo people have a hard time with anything new so I'll help)

YOU go into the rodeo arena and run as fast as you can and a cowboy will ride up behind you, lasso you around the throat, and throw you to the ground by your neck.....how will it feel ?

OH, and since you have NO voice, no way to protest...you can't protest...

It's a serious warning sign when kids harm animals.

 

Many links reference the quote that was made in the San Antonio express news: “Do I think it hurts the calf? Sure I do. I’m not stupid.” –Keith Martin, current PRCA chairman of the board, in the Feb. 6, 2000 San Antonio Express News

 

I stated my concern.

And, what I said confirmed your second sentence.

The origin of rodeos came from Europe, with Spanish ranchers in Mexico and their development of economic management of herds for food.

 

I provided you with six links earlier, now I admit they aren't Facebook, where you obviously get your information.

No need to be sorry for me, I've done and seen a lot in my 63 years.

 

I said OKAY the first time you posted this silly ****, you seem very limited on understanding what is posted back to you.

"OKAY" ? So that means you are all for roping children (or you) like calves???

You seem very limited when answering questions.

I had another idea...how about rodeo fans bringing their dogs to the rodeo and having them lassoed , choked , and smashed to the ground ??? Sounds like rodeo fans would like their dogs having such a nice, pain free life...

 

Doing and seeing without learning isn't useful.

 

Yes, any child 220 to 280lbs can participate.

Says the person that didn't understand I answered the first time I was asked.

lassoed!! choked!!, smashed!!! Sounds gruesome!!!!
I plan on being attending the Calgary Stampede in July this year along with over a million others, I'll report back with a full casualty report.
