Rodeos can be cruel, yes, but can we say the treatment of their animals is worse than the treatment of wild horses by the BLM?If these wild horses don't die or become severely injured in the round-ups, and if they don't die or become severely injured in the holding pens, they die or become severely injured when the BLM 'euthanizes' them (euthanize meaning 'shooting them in the head with a gun'). Their reasons are questionable and they refuse to listen to those who propose more humane ideas (such as herd control) as well as ideas that would save the government money. Meanwhile, these beautiful animals and symbols of our heritage, are disappearing in the worst way. I am much more concerned about this issue than I am about animals used in rodeos. As for bullfighting, it is disgusting and I do not agree with it, but until that culture begins to see how barbaric it is, it will be difficult to convince them otherwise. Perhaps we should work on leading by example first.
