Is There a Place for Rodeos in Civilized Society?
Hell no, Cowboys and Cowgirls.
The Rodeo apologists say that this spectacle is a mirror of ranch life.
Bullshit. That is like saying The West Wing is a mirror of the White House.
Terrified animals, fitted out with various appliances meant to do nothing but cause pain, "ridden", roped and wrangled by men drunk on testosterone in front of huge, bloodthirsty crowds. This is a sport?
Again, bullshit. There are people who consider dog fighting, cock fighting, bull fighting, and trophy hunting "sport". None of those events are "sport", they are cruel, vicious, inhumane "games" invented by humans to appeal to blood lust and stupidity.
Just like Rodeo.
The fact that the Cloverdale Rodeo, the Calgary Stampede, and all similar events wherin terrified, traumatized, agonized animals are further abused by "cowboys" for human amusement proves the sad truth that humanity has not evolved much. Sad. We should all hang our heads in shame.
