Why are Rodeos allowed to function?Animal Abuse?Yes or No?

Question

If there are laws against Animal Abuse then why are Rodeos allowed to strap bulls and horses testicles tightly,so that they will buck harder for a cowboy to have a joy ride?In my opinion, I think you "cowboys" look stupid riding animals the way you do.This is fun to you?Where do they draw the line on animal cruelty laws?

Answer 1

Rodeo performers do not "strap bulls and horses' testicles". There is what is called a "flank strap" but that's not what it does...and have you never seen a female horse buck? Worst buckin' horse I ever had the misfortune to encounter was a two-year-old filly. My back still aches forty years later! And no, it was not in a rodeo ring!
Rodeo is a traditional means for horsemen, ranchers and farmers to show off their skills handling animals. The animals are usually quite well cared for - those rodeos that allow mistreatment of their stock don't survive the demands of the rodeo circuit...for one thing, other rodeo sponsors and performers won't stand for outright animal abuse. You gonna mistreat the creatures upon which you depend for your livlihood? Not bloody likely, ya city slicker! Whyn't ya go see the National
Finals this year? One thing you'll see a lot of - is veterinarians!

Answer 2

its only abuse if they dont eat the animals afterward
