Calgary Stampede Rodeo Rams Horses

Like all rodeos, the Calgary Stampede claims to have humane rules that protect animals. Like all other rodeos, the Calgary Stampede humane rules are worthless, as you can see in this video. Thugs with rods skulk down behind the horses and ram them in the ribs, flank and genital area as the chute is opened. Everyone behind the chutes know what is going on - the stock contractors, the contestants, and most disturbingly, the judges who are supposed to enforce the phony humane rules. These aren’t cowboys. They are cowards. Born to buck? Ridiculous. Rodeo animals are running and bucking in a desperate attempt to escape their tormentors.
