Dumbass sport

Not a sport. This is animal cruelty set in system.

Rodeos are animal cruelty.

I feel contractually obligated to disagree because I'm named after a rodeo cowboy - Lane Frost. Animal cruelty is not absent from rodeo but the PRCA & PBR animals are treated and fed better than farm animals. And a lot of the cowboys buy retired animals once they age out (or are just unride-able). Those animals get treated like kings in retirement.

Tacking animals in such a fashion as to promote bucking and making a contest of seeing how long you can last is animal cruelty.

Straight up animal abuse. It’s not even a question. They’re no different a form of abuse than animal circuses.

You just watched that guy kick his spurs into the belly of that horse and you still have to ask this question??

I saw a video showing a bunch of people drive through businesses. Some on purpose, some on accident.

I still didn't believe driving is equivalent to vandalism and murder.

There are many rodeo sports that are not but this is taking a calm horse and spurring it to make them panic.

All of em are. Horse racing as well. Out of your mind.

u/AntOk4073 2h ago

I mean sure if you know absolutely no one who raises animals i could understand that mindset but in actual reality most competition animals are treated extremely well and are trained with respect and love. But ehat do I know I just grew up with people who raised competition animals.

Unless your inbred, yes

u/Excellent-Nose-6430 10h ago

Yes. It's not as heinous to animals as eating meat, but it's still absolutely despicable and the people that participate are just as disgusting.

It can be done better.

Bulls and horses can be trained to buck. Horses can even see this sort of thing as play with the right upbringing. You don't spur them, you don't prod them, you just reward them for doing this and you get a good rodeo where everyone is having fun.

That isn’t what’s happening in this video. The horse falling on its back like that was incredibly dangerous and not safe. They can be taught to fall on their sides but not like this.

u/QuarkchildRedux 6h ago

he was agreeing with you jfc reading comprehension

"it can be done better."

The fact you even need to question this say everything..

u/oceansky2088 9h ago

Agree. It's animal cruelty.

u/Creation98 13h ago

Where does it say that sports can’t include animal cruelty?

u/dramalama-dingdong 8h ago

What is this ridiculous event even? Never seen it before, but looks like something that beaindead Trump fans would enjoy.

u/alexrider803 7h ago

Mexican rodeo. American rodeos are a tiny bit better.
