Am I the only person who HATES when people say that rodeos are cruel?!?

Rodeos are NOT cruel! yes, there are places where rodeos seem to be very mean and vile…but I'm sure that there are certain rules that need to be followed. Calf roping does no harm to the animal, yes it looks sad, i can barely watch it sometimes, but its not causing them pain. You have to remember that calves, cattle, horses, and bulls have tough skin and strong bones. If they can get in fights and be kicked in the neck by another animal's hoof, i think a little rope has no effect on them GENIUS! I'm all for animal cruelty rights and stuff, but lay off the rodeos…if you have no idea what goes on behind the chutes keep ur mouth shut! And for the record, i read an article that said those genius SHARK people failed to prove rodeos were cruel…so i don't see how people still eat that stuff up. And if you see what goes on behind the scenes, you will understand just how much care goes into those animals. Right after a run, every animal is given water, some time to relax, and care. So much of the profits that rodeo competitors win goes into their livestock that it's not even funny. Sorry, just had to let all the people who don't know what they're talking about and just want to attack innocent people bacuse they think the 'little cow is gunna get hurt' know what really goes on.
