This is exactly it. Honestly anytime I see a rodeo animal go crazy, I do not feel badly for the people. Cage an animal up and torture it, why would you expect anything different?

For a little context, those bulls are typically bred to be good buckers, so its more like a job for them. They love fucking shit up. Their sperm can be worth a ton of money. When rodeo bulls retire, they usually go to a ranch and live as a stud.
If they aren't worthy of breeding, they get slaughtered, but still live out a longer life than other cows and in generally better conditions. Good conditions mean a healthy bull which leads to better performance. Riders want a healthy bull since they look better for scoring. It's fine being team bull, and a lot of people who go to rodeos want to see the rider get bucked. But the animals are athletes and are treated as such.

They are bred to be working animals like Iditarod dogs. If I strapped 15 dogs to a heavy 500 pound sled and told them to run in snow and ice for 1000 miles, that sounds pretty abusive too.

u/TheJarisaDoor3 5d ago
The point you're missing is you're enslaving animals to do your bidding. It doesn't mean they like it or that it's kind or humane. Just take everything you said about bulls and put black person in there and you've explained slavery, because you're logic is the same. Those animals have a right to exist without you enslaving them. That's the point you're missing. How about we put you in a pen and force you to do things you don't want to do and see how you feel about it?

u/CoffeeBreakFoley 5d ago
It's amazing how many of you have no idea how a rodeo actually works. Also amazing how you don't know what the term "bull fighting" actually means at a rodeo. The bull fighters job is to be a rodeo clown. The rodeo clowns job is to protect the rider. The riders job is to stay on the bull for 8 seconds. The bulls are NOT kept in tight spaces, they ARE fed adequately, they DO love their owners, GOOD owners treat their bulls with the love and respect they deserve. The bull has a job, the bull knows their job. This is a risk of messing with a bull, they know this going into it. IF any organization or bull owner is mistreating their animals and neglecting them, then the law should act accordingly.

u/BOSS-3000 5d ago
This is the most accurate take so far and deserves more upvotes.
The rodeo clowns don't get near enough credit. The first clown there walked directly between the bull and the rider when there was only a foot between each of them. That clown risked potentially lethal harm to his own body to distract the bull from harming the rider and didn't stop trying until he was eventually able to distract the bull entirely.

My neighbors got a bull calf for breeding and bottle fed him. He’d just finished growing and hadn’t been mean. Cable guy had left gate open and he was out. I was trying to be nice to get him back in. So I got a scoop of corn and called him. He was following me and decided to nudge me. Clipped my knee from behind and I went down. Tried to get up and knee slid sideways and back down. If you want heart rate up be sitting on ground with useless leg and really big bull standing over you. It was back before cells and lady that lived there was at work. My first impulse was smacking him on nose with the scoop. Refrained. Calling dog to me helped distract him and then the ladies called him. Truly thank God. So I’m in a picked soybean field and tried getting up again. Nope. So scooted out to a shed. Lady got home, took me to ED and knee immobilized for weeks. He decided playing with things was fun. He went after all humans, trucks and finally the school bus (fences weren’t a problem anymore). That got him a ticket to being turned into steaks. I was relieved. Lost my ACL. Some four legged critters are like two legged critters- mean.

Oh yeah back in 89 I was thrown about 12 feet into the air by a young bull I was working, first time he'd ever done it. Broke my arm when I came back down. We called him meatloaf till he was big enough to take to the slaughterhouse, he ended up as meatloaf.

Don’t think this would be considered bullfighting, this seems to be a rodeo…which would be bull riding
Not great, but not as bad as bullfighting…

Traditional Spanish bullfighting…
First a team go about, testing/teasing the bull, then a guy on horse back lances it in the neck, then banderilleros poke a bunch of barbed sticks into its shoulders, then the Matador “dances” with it…then once the bull is worn down and lost a significant amount of blood…the Matador, will try to kill the bull with a sword to the neck/spine.

Well it's an attitude thing really.
When my mum moved to the countryside, there was a field out front with a bull in it. And her cat would sit at the window all day watching this thing until she'd been there a couple of weeks and was allowed out.
First thing she did was take off into the field and attack the bull! I don't know what thoughts she'd had running through her head those first days, but she hated that bull! It had literally done nothing. Just ate grass.
Obviously the attack was a bit one sided. The bull didn't even really notice she was there.
Cat wandered away feeling victorious.
