Cloverdale Rodeo, BC.
About two dozen animal rights activists with signs greeted people as they entered the fairgrounds.
"We lack a justification for causing these animals unnecessary harm. So in these last four years things have changed," said protest organizer Paul Fader."More people are waking up to the rights of animals and the justice that they deserve."
Cloverdale Rodeo organizers say they adhere to all rules and regulations pertaining to the treatment of livestock -- and point to sellout crowds at the Stetson Bowl rodeo events, which are an additional cost above the price of admission, as proof the sport is still popular.
"Well, it's a sellout performance this afternoon and with this kind of weather, the temperature is just right. I think people are -- pardon the pun -- chomping at the bit and primed to re-engage with events like ours," Hugh said.

I have seen a few bad accidents at rodeos. I rode broncs when i was young at a few rodeos. Just didnt like it. But in Oklahoma it is big money anymore. Have 2 nieces who are great barrel racers. One went to World finals. Won money but didnt get the number spot. I think she was 3rd. She makes money buying and selling barrel horses. The other has a regular job but does to rodeos and weekends.

Barrel racing is a tough sport. Good for your niece. I know they stopped the chuckwagon races at the Calgary Stampede after a few horses had to be put down after sustaining injuries during the brutal race. |

More people are waking up to the rights of animals and the justice that they deserve. Let me know when they start paying taxes and then we can start a conversation about "rights" for animals. |

Also, I do not know who these people are that are protesting. Are you saying conservatives don't care about animal cruelty? That's not a fair assumption. |

I think we have always had a responsibility regarding the corruption of minors. So, not sure what that has to do with anything. Lame try though As for animal cruelty we have laws about animal cruelty. I don't think you would have much of a rodeo if you weren't taking care of your animals. But, if someone is abusing an animal of course they should be charged. |

I for one, would be fine Rodeos are banned. I don't like to watch them. Dangerous for both animal and human.
Same with Bull fighting. I'm glad it's on the way out... such a cruel "sport".

Never been to a rodeo.
Seen it on tv shows, don't know how real that is.
Can't really say if they should be banned or not.
Not sure how that would work in the U.S. or if they even could ban them.

I don't believe they are abusing animals to have them in rodeos. Are you abusing your pet to make him do a trick? Dogs generally aren't twirling or do things unless they are trained. My dog will "spin" on command for a treat. Is that abuse? Just because some activists don't like something doesn't mean it has to be banned.

We have a local rodeo competition at our county fair in September, along with other riding/roping skill competitions. Maybe I should try going this year to see what it's like.
