And animals raised for consumption have far more oversight as to their care and well being. Farms face all sorts of inspection and there are regulations to be followed.

Meanwhile breeders of dogs have zero regulation and no inspection requirements.
Good point, though in terms of public response, perceived animal cruelty in dog breeding establishments is widely condemned in the media and in the court of public opinion, while violations within the food industry don't get a lot of coverage unless they are violations that would seriously compromise the health of consumers.

As to the question you posed about rodeo being banned. I don't see it happening any time soon. Calf roping in particular is still done on ranches.
Being banned any time soon? I agree completely. My post was in response to Cowperson's idea of what might happen within 100 years.
