Are you in the habit of putting an elastic on your cats balls and riding him around the living room.
And then shoving him in the back of a cramped trailer with dozens of other cats and driving around the country to perform this act?
Stampede animals are more comparable to circus animals than they are domestic pets or slaughterhouse animals.
I haven't read the entire thread, but this does not happen anymore. Bucking is so bred into these animals, cinchs are not used in that manner anymore. These animals are bred to buck and will buck without any provocation.
Maybe we need to bring back medieval war horses. Those were giant horses, bred to carry hundreds of pounds of heavy armor and they towered over the battlefield.
Stampedes and rodeos are not the most humane thing but neither are bull fights or the entire animal slaughter industry that puts food on your table.
I personally don't get any enjoyment out of rodeos or chuckwagon races but to each his own.

It just reminds me so much of
