    All my life I was told animals at the rodeo were the best treated animals in the world.

    I worked backstage at a rodeo. That’s a bold face lie.

    After a cow is done with their round and they are chased back into the cage, that isn’t a cage, it’s a chute/tunnel and the only way to get them to walk down it is to have a cowboy hang from the bars and swing kick the cows on the ass.

    Also, one of the competition rounds is literally chasing a baby cow with a horse, lassoing its legs to make it fall, jumping off the horse, lifting the baby cow off the ground, and then slamming it back onto the ground.
