RODEO the word creates an instantaneous image of heroes in the saddle ... of
brave cowboys risking their necks to break" a wild horse ... of ' Home on the Range''
sung sweetly to the twang of guitar The true facts behind that dreamy vision can and
should be spelled out in a very different manner. Read them like they are:
is for the RAPACiOUSNESS of Rodeo entrepreneurs who repay the
livestock that gives them a livelihood with vicious and inhumane
treatment.
is for the OUTRAGEOUS cruelty of the "bucking" strap (shown above),
placed in the area of the small intestines and kidneys, then tightened
unbearably to provoke tame horses to go "loco" in excruciating agony.
is for the DESTRUCTIVE DISREGARD with which "bronco busters" rake
their horses with steel spurs on each jump out of the chute returning
the same tortured and injured animals for more of the same day
after day.
is for ELECTRIC PRODS, used to agitate horses to a crazed state of
pain and fear so they put on a "good show."
is for OTHER atrocities like Calf-roping, Steer-busting and Team-tying
visited on all the pain-racked, horror-ridden animals unfortunate enough
to be Rodeo "stars."
PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER... THEY SPELL R-O-D-E-0
