Now for you american people.What's happen on the rodeos .Don't the cow have weirds things attached to their private parts to be more wild? Or I should say "painfull"
we will blame ernest!


at american rodeos the belt that is put around the horse/bull doesn't touch his private parts, it is cinched around his belly, that makes the horse/bull jump. the animals jump to try and get the belt loosened. there are no spikes, nails or anything that will tear the animals skin!

the horses and bulls are treated very well, they are considered athletes, because if there is no bull, there is no rodeo!


when the bull or horses are retired they are bred to other bull or horses to make babies that will jump. the owners have to keep them healthy and in good shape because they will make money
selling horse/bull semen to other bull/horse breeders.

it does look cruel and like it does hurt the animals but, as in bullrunning, when a cowboy falls off the animal, the animal may just let the cowboy who is the boss!

a bull weighs just under 1,000 kilos, a cowboy 70 kilos????

the bigger animal usually wins!



yes, we americans are novices when it comes to most things, but we do put on a show! lol

thanks!
