Calf roping is a rodeo event that involves lassoing calves around the neck, flipping them on their sides and tying their legs together. 

Lassoing calves can cause serious injuries such as ligament tearing, subcutaneous tissue damage and internal hemorrhaging to the trachea and thymus gland. Human entertainment does not justify such a cruel practice.

it is extremely cruel to those defenseless calfs and makes some bystandards sick watching how they treat them.
