Not to get off subject but you should learn a bit about the monitoring rodeos undergo regarding treatment of the animals before spouting off. You are wrong, the bulls buck because they are bulls not because they are being tormented. Have you seen the size of a Brahma bull? They are tough, ornery, hardscrabble critters who don’t need to be tormented in order to come swinging out the gate. Sheesh.

“Have you seen the size of a Brahma bull? They are tough, ornery, hardscrabble critters”

When I was a kid we had a rodeo stock contractor keep his bulls in a pasture next to our house. Can you imagine being six years old and standing there face to face with a Brahma bull through a hogwire/two strand barb wire fence? One, “Old E” jumped over the fence into our pasture then hopped over another fence and left. The last I saw of him a kid was leading him back home behind a motorcycle. He was one that hardly anyone could ride, but after the rodeo they would put little kids on him and take their picture...

Yeah, the bulls are having a great time, too.

adtually the bulls are not ‘mean’, they are just really uncomfortable because of the strap pulling their nut sack up against their belly. Put a human on their back and that adds to it. They aren’t really mad, just irritated. Moments later they are done for the day and happily loafing around eating hay and cube. A rodeo bull has it made in the shade...

You wanna see mean? Try walking up to a newborn calf and see how momma acts...
