How much do you
know about rodeo?
DID YOU KNOW THAT ... the horses in rodeos are not
wild. The bucking or flank strap is passed around the
flank of a bronc (also the brahma bull ) . It is tightened
by the full weight of the prodded animal lunging from
the chute and the full strength of a cowboy pulling in
the opposite direction. The strap locks in this tight
position in the area of the large and small intestines
where the animal has no natural protection. In order
to rid himself of the painful device, the animal bucks
for the amusement of the crowd. In saddle-bronc
events, the second-cinch is sometimes pulled back
into the bucking strap position to serve as a bucking
strap. The use of the bucking strap is illegal in Ohio.
DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . calf and steer roping is
practically non-existent on ranches today. Nowadays
animals are driven quietly into working chutes, made
immobile and then worked on. In rodeo, animals are
severely prodded while confined in the chute to in
sure a good running performance. In rodeo, choking
of the steers and baby colves is required and necks
are often broken.
3ID YOU KNOW THAT . . . rodeo performers are not
real "cowboys." They are trained athletes who earn
big money at the cost of incredible cruelty to animals.
Do you want to spend your money
to support cruelty?
Don't attend rodeos - tell your friends the story and
urge them to stay away too. Insist that your law enforce
ment officials enforce the Ohio anti-buckinq strap law.

READY FOR EASTER are Sy, Sally, Smokey,
Red Feather and Sam in the background.
Selma occupies the Easter basket while Hippy
and Hoppy, the two-month-old Dutch Belt
rabbits, nibble at sugared rolled oats. The six
dogs and two rabbits have run of the house and
regularly romp together at the home of Lois
Winchester in Heppner.

Hunting Ely Aircraft
Before this year is out, a total of 300 permits
to hunt polar bear with aircraft will have been
issued in Alaska.
That any state government or commission
would allow such atrocities in the name of sport
is a reflection not only on their lack of ecological
know ledge as well as their compassion, but a
reflection on the citizens of the state as well.
Apparently that is the way most Alaskans look
at it, too, for public pressure to prohibit the
practice is now so great that the Fish and Game
Board may be compelled to take action.
Meanwhile, State Senator Terry Miller, who,
in 1970, sponsored a bill to end all polar bear
hunting (which was defeated at that time), will
re-open the w hole matter in the legislature.
