Just like the parade, fried foods & Nashville North. PETA getting it's name in the news is just as much a part of Stampede as the white hats & belt buckles. I'd wager Stampede can't really get kicked off until PETA get's it's nickers in a bunch.
Haha, I was going to say the same thing. The Vancouver stampede hate is fast becoming the unofficial Stampede kickoff.
Looking forward to seeing if the "protest" out front of Stampede Park reaches double digits this year. Both times I went to the park last year, there was no more than eight people picketing, and two of them were clearly the children of another protester who wanted to be doing anything else but making fools of themselves in front of 100,000 people.

They're abusing children to entertain a crowd? Those monsters!
Of all the events at the rodeo, calf roping is the worst.
Do I think that means it needs to stop? Of course not.
If you want to compare them to human kids, then feel free. Even counting the lasso part, I know I dished out that much punishment on my younger brother and sister when I was growing up.

Not to be pedantic, but one should consider the relative projected lifespans of calves and babies. A three month old calf would be equivalent to about a two year old kid.
Anyone been through the "terrible twos"?
I rest my case

I wonder if they would have the same problem with this event if they replaced calfs with grasshoppers.
As well, this reminds me - I need to write the IOC a letter submitting my idea that the Olympics needs a new event in line with modern times and entertainment value - Bear Equestrian.
