I AM OPPOSED TO RODEO... ALL OF IT.
I RECENTLY POSTED THIS INTEREST THAT LINKS CARRY A PETITION ABOUT THE "FIRE BULLS" OF SPAIN... A PROTEST OF THE RIGHTS OF ANIMALS PETITION.

THE USA CERTAINLY HAS NOT PROVIDED TO EUROPE BY POSTURING SUCH BEHAVIOURS AS THE MENACE AND THE INJURIOUS "SPORT" OF THE HYPE OF USA RODEO...
WHAT A DISGRACE OF MY COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN. HOWEVER... SURELY WE CAN WORK TO AMEND THIS ATROCITY... FIRST LET ME BE TO EUROPE, TO SPAIN ONE OF THE FIRST TO APOLOGIZE... AND YES TO ALL THE CREATURES THAT ARE MEANT HARM AND WILL RECEIVE HARM IN THE "RODEO" THEME OF ENTITLEMENT TO ABUSE ANIMALS!

Thank you, Cher. Rodeos are too disgusting for words - those big, brave men and women torturing innocent, terrified animals for their sick, sadistic, deadbeat audience.

Thank you, Cher. I hate rodeos. But I bet the sadistic Spanish with their bull fights will eat it up. Why is cruelty to animals so much a part of human cultures?

There us an area here in Southern California that has a place they hold Rodeos, I just can't understand the love that people have for this.

To me riding full speed after a calf and yanking it down to the ground is just ill.

Tying a horses and bulls you know whats so they buck harder makes me just ill.

And...to make matter worse these people are called "great" and other people go to watch a cheer.

We are in a sick world with careless people when it comes to animals.

Thanks Cher!

My grandpa raised cattle in Nebraska, I was around them from early childhood. They took me to their Rodeos, I cried and screamed. I hated the way they roped the calfs. I was right about circuses too, and Zoos. Can't we just protect them and leave them alone? And if we do put them into our service, we owe them dignity, safety and serenity. It's the least we can do!

Cher, I can't watch this - I can't click on the link. Just too much horror for me tonight. The rodeo gangs and spectators in the USA are equal in their barbarity scale to the Spanish with their bull torture. Demonic people now joining hands in torture. I can't even pray now - just this empty, empty space inside me.

If there is a hell and oh God I pray there is - then may all these sadists find a snug home there - and may they never, ever get out.

Macho, brain-dead, morons showing themselves off as cruel, uncaring, insensitive imbeciles. Gee whiz! Gosh, darn it, but I'm a real man!
I love it when the bull spikes them with his horns. I say,"serves them right."
