Some people are such troglodytes that they find it amusing to use animals for their own pleasure - even when that results in suffering and death for the animal. How low can they be? Very low. And that is what I find here in Northern California - more specifically Shasta County and Tehama County, which is where the Red Bluff rodeo is held.
So I'm going to post some links to animal rights pages, who can say it much better than me.
"Rodeo Facts
The Case Against Rodeos
Rodeos may be popular, but more and more Americans are becoming aware of just how cruel these events are for the animals forced to participate. The horses, bulls, steer, and calves suffer broken ribs, backs, and legs, torn tails, punctured lungs, internal organ damage, ripped tendons, torn ligaments, snapped necks, and agonizing deaths.
The injuries are not confined to the rodeos themselves. For instance, during practice sessions, a calf may be roped repeatedly, until the calf suffers injuries that require her replacement."

I'm glad they sued the California Rodeo Salinas for animal abuse. When the lizard brains do their thing, lawsuits may be the only thing that gets through to them. Yep, especially in Northern California.
