How often does that happen? And is it any more common than other accidents or problems that are faced on farms and slaughterhouses?
Lastly, I do think there is a general hypocrisy with a lot of people who eat meat. Ever see how baby chicks get processed? It's brutal. But people don't think of it when the order a chicken burger. However, when people watch a rodeo they DO think about it because, well it's visible.
There is probably a short to medium list of things we could do to make our meat processing more humane before we start turning a lens to rodeo.

good point(s). Two "cool story bro"
- For some reason in grade 8 we went to a slaughter house for chickens. I have no recollection of why we did this, but the sights/sounds/smells have always stuck with me.
- Spend sometime on the slaughter floor at a big plant in Alberta, ie: Cargill......WOW is all I can say.
I am a meat eater, but I try to know where and how my meat is handled/raised/slaughtered.
Rodeo, will it die off, time will tell. It may develop into a display of skills which are no longer used on things other than animals. I am sure other cultures have developed in this way, but none jump to mind.
