I'm one of those who is stuck on the fence too.
As people have mentioned here, it is impossible to defend completely. However as others have mentioned, it's not nearly as bad as a lot of other things.
Heck, the whole meat industry could be cleaned up better before worrying about things like the Stampede.
So I'm not really sure. For me though, the Stampede was never really about taking in any of the rodeo events. It's about watching street performers and fireworks. Eating sinfully all day. Maybe taking in the fair. Seeing a lot of great concerts. Getting completely hammered. And propositioning as many hotties as possible. Who are always sexily dressed and much easier this time of year.
