And no - I know it doesn't really hurt them - that they are fine afterwards.
And I understand the love of rodeo.
But it's obvious why that event is a lightning rod.

Yes, I only drag in brandings by the hind feet but sometimes in the pasture trying to doctor a dodgy calf and a pi*sed off mama cow, getting that perfect heel shot in is not always as easy as 1 2 3. Or maybe it's just my sh*tty roping skills because I only pick up a rope when I absolutely need to.
Obviously it's going to draw public attention because it looks bad. It's just not as bad as it looks and I wish most people understood that.
