The bulls are cinched in order to make the animals buck. Those rank bulls will get mean just because they fell like it. If you don’t believe me, go stand in a bull pen with one of ‘em and stare at ‘em.

I’ve never witnessed a western bullriding event in which the bull was killed, or injured for that matter. But I have seen riders killed, paralyzed, maimed, suffer broken bones, etc. by bulls.

I have been to enough rodeos to know you are telling the truth. The first thing that happens after a rider is thrown is the cinch is removed and the bull calms down considerably.

I too, have never seen an animal injured. I have seen hurt riders and clowns and out riders however. What I have never seen at a rodeo is the outright murder of an animal by anyone. Why in the name of God would anyone approve of that?
