Another Australian rodeo ... another horrible example of animal cruelty. This time the footage is from the Warwick Rodeo in southern Queensland this weekend just been. WARNING: If you love animals you'll find the vid hard to watch.
What you can see is a bull named Buckle Up falling and breaking either his leg or hip. He attempts to stand and walk, dragging his leg and collapsing on it a number of times.
The next 30 minutes(!!) were spent trying to get Buckle Up out of the rodeo ring. Rodeo clowns taunted him; a ute was used; and other bulls were let loose in the ring to shepherd him out - all of this despite his clear distress and awful injury causing him to collapse repeatedly.
After half an hour of prolonged pain, Buckle Up was finally herded onto a truck. In their clumsy and careless efforts to move him, the organisers of the rodeo may have broken more than one section of the Queensland Animal Care and Protection Act. Really though, would rodeos be the first thing to spring into your mind when thinking about "animal care and protection"?
Queensland isn't the only state where rodeos still take place. In fact, every state and territory still allows them (except the ACT...which stands for Anti-Cruelty Territory, right?). If you believe that Australia in 2012 is no place for this kind of cruel treatment of animals, all in the name of entertainment, then join with 1000s of others to make the pledge in saying "NO" to rodeos.

It's blindingly obvious this poor animal is suffering great pain and distress, yet all you do is add to it and make his suffering worse.
Why didn't you sedate him? There should be people on hand at these events for such situations. The moment an animal is injured there should be facilities available to deal with the situation in a fast and humane manner.
What happened after he was loaded onto the truck? Did he have to endure a journey on a bumpy road in a rattly truck for god knows how long, probably only to be shot at the destination anyway?
This is why Rodeos must be banned. We cannot trust people to act humanely towards its animals

country won't be buying any more of their cars. And the local BigW the same---I'll shop somewhere else.Rotary and Lions have also sponsored Rodeos--I thought those organizations would be far above this low-life bastardry--but no. Goodbye Lions and Rotary Those companys won't give a hoot about one voice in the wind but I'll feel better doing something. Shame there's only one of me.

The perpetrators that organise these disgusting shows, the riders that think they are so dammed brave ( thinking they are heroes ) and the public that support them by attending, are all mindless moronic idiots.
If they had brains they would be dangerous!!
As for our Gutless politicians, what can I say that hasn't been said before!!!

Since we still live in the dark ages we pay for this sort of entertainment, without a thought of the pain the animal must endure.
