Animal Rights .vs. Rodeo Rights

For the rodeo enthusiast in you, you might have recently noticed that the rodeo industry is experiencing more of a fight each year from animal rights activists. In my opinion, the animal rights activists do have a point. However, I really wish that the issues could get resolved before a court hearing. As rodeo enthusiasts, we must appreciate the fact that animals are to be respected and cherished. They are not our property. They can’t be just thrown down and if they get injured, we’ll just throw them away. In the same way that we protect humans in baseball and humans in football, we must respect and cherish the safety of all animals. It is about time that we begin to install safeguards for our rodeo partners so that we can increase the safety profiles of all rodeos. That’s safety profiles for both human and non-human competitors. When this begins, hopefully, we won’t have to read stories like this one.
