Whether you think it's "######ed" or not, it's something that a lot of people really dislike about the Stampede. It's a complex issue, but not one that should just be systematically ignored. I'm not vegan or a PETA follower by any means, but it is something that makes me a uncomfortable about the Stampede, and clearly there are many who feel the same. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of any even that makes animals into a spectacle, whether it be the Stampede, a Circus, or Sea World. Every time I go to the zoo, I feel for all those giraffes in their tiny boxes, and the tigers just circling their enclosure.
The one event that I personally can't really stomach is the one where they release some scared steer, chase it down, and wrangle it to the ground by the neck. Those animals always look frightened beyond belief.
