The turth about Rodeos - would you entertain yourself at the expense of animals in unimaginable pain ?
By a fortuitous event, I chanced upon Veggie Karma’s blog which contained a quote about rodeo training in North America from the book No Nonsense Guide to Animal Rights:
(Quote) In modern day rodeos, tame horses and bulls are sometimes given electric shocks to get them ‘bucking’ or have straps squeezed around their lower abdomens to put pressure on their groin areas. Apart from this kind of discomfort, animals are sometimes seriously injured and even killed at the rodeo. A USDA meat inspector said that the rodeo horses and cows that come to slaughterhouses are so terribly bruised that there are few places where the skin is actually attached to the muscle. Animals also commonly have broken ribs and punctured lungs .(unquote)
So, effectively, the rodeo owners, participants and the audience entertain themselves watching animals writhe in pain, get severely injured and crippled, and then dragged to the slaughterhouse. Whence did Man’s conscience disappear ?
