Human beings are animals.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Hominidae
Subfamily: Homininae
Tribe: Hominini
Genus: Homo
Species: H. sapiens(Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man")

Trinomial name;
Homo sapiens sapiens

As we are the dominant life form on this particular planet we basically make the rules about what we think is inferior to us. Nevertheless, we are what we are. Animals. Just like the other animals.

I agree with the premise that its pretty much inevitable rodeo will die at some point, probably within the next 100 years or maybe sooner. But die it will.

The good news is that most people go to the Stampede for reasons other than seeing rodeo or chucks, therefore the festival itself is likely to morph and survive.
