For clarification. I’m an Independent and the writer has said in more than one article that she is a conservative republican.
To say that this article was some how sexual in any matter is just wrong. I wouldn’t post an article like that. IF people took time to read the article instead of taking a sentence here or there, it might make a difference.
If you haven’t been around livestock or especially rodeo livestock, you are not going to understand it. You are not going to understand that it’s 8 seconds of work for the bull and then it’s back to hay and resting. You are not going to know that they are worth big bucks and are WELL taken care of. The weight of that girl on his back probably felt like a fly. She in no way hurt the bull by attempting to ride him!
“She smelled the bull, felt his power underneath her and was loving every minute of it. Would it have been easier, more PC or less heartbreaking if she’d been killed in a car wreck on the way home? No.” Ever been to a rodeo? Ever seen the rider towering on the gate over the animal? Then slip on their back? This is probably very close to what she was experiencing.
I do not for one minute think that this had any sexual meaning. Perverted? Everyone in the source articles always commented on how much she loved bull riding, how it was her passion, her dream. Once again, if you haven’t had your dog, horse, goat etc. in close proximity to your nose, you’re not going to get this. She and many others have a love for animals that most on here seem to not be aware of. Maybe it’s weird for people who live in town to understand. To me, its a part of life. Every animal has its own unique smell. My favorite is horse.
Danger is everywhere, do we just quit living?
For those who have been there, no explanation is necessary.
For those who have not, none is possible.
