So I was watching the news and during the running of the bulls, this bull slipped and broke one of his horns. The sadness of this greatly impacts me. I'm sure he was hoping to gore some runner with that horn.

I've never heard of it either, but google has. I think it's the Canadian equivalent of the Grand National.

The calgary stampede is a yearly rodeo put on in Calgary AB. Last year it had just over one million people come through the gates. I'm taking my children down there this coming Wed.

Animal rights activists are going beserk over the death of nine horses. It was a tragic accident and I'm sure the owners of those horses are just as horified at this unfortunate mishap. I believe one horse also collapsed due to the heat.

The horses got spooked on their run through town and jumped over a bridge into the Bow (sp?) river. If anyone here is familiar with rodeos and farm life in general then you should also know the time, money and resources that go into these animals. They are very well cared for.

So should this one unsettling occurace impact my decision to not attend the rodeo? No. I don't believe it should. I'm looking forward to the chuck wagon races, calve roping, bare back riders and even the mutton busting.

Alberta is founded on farming and rural events. Alot of men earn their living through rodeos and I don't believe they should be condemed for animal abuse by people who don't even understand the extent of care in which these animals receive.

I'm particularly happy when some of the (human) participants are hurt. Is that bad?

Oh yeah, people are upset about the 9 horses... but what about the poor 450 sheep that jumped to their death!? 😲

Doesn't anyone care about these poor sheep? 🙁

As long as the dead horses were cleanly dress-out by a professional butcher in sterile conditions prior to going to the BBQ concession , I don't see who could have a problem with this .

"Mutton Busting" is perverse though , and should be stopped . I don't care if it's the cowboy way or how long you've been doing it . It's sick and wrong .

I hear that people in Colorado have found a new use for sheep, wool.
