The Stampede defines Calgary, without it we would be just another no-name city that some people may have heard of. Animals are used for entertainment all the time, as long as they don't suffer inhumanely, it's not any different than using them for food.

The Stampede is 10 days a year and good fun for a couple nights of that but it doesn't define the city of Calgary.
