I certainly think someone can be against the abuse of animals for entertainment, but also eat meat. Similarly someone else can be a vegetarian, but like going to the rodeo. We are all hypocrites against our own hard and fast rules.... but at the end of the day I can live with myself if I do more good than harm.
I'm with Bob on this one. But being a vegetarian who attempts to purchases no products made from animals (i.e. leather), that should't be a surprise.

Are you aware that in the Calgary Area, probably over 10,000 cattle are slaughtered every day?
I get that the Stampede is not an ideal situation, since horses do die there, but saying the death of a dozen(?) horses in a year is bad, but the death of well over 200,000 cattle a year is ok is a bit ridiculous.
