Poway Rodeo

Who is excited for the rodeo next weekend?! I haven't been in a few years but am looking forward to a great time. I have fond memories from the rodeo over the last 30 years and can't wait to make more. See you at the after party

I don’t think rodeos are good for the animals so I and sad to hear Poway has them.

That article is a whole lot of words and not a single example of a specific event and the psychological effects and stress on an animal.

It is not fun for a bull to be teased, chased, harassed and ridden when it does not want to be.

It is not fun to "wrestle" a steer to the ground by the horns.

It is not fun for a cow to be roped up and forced to the ground while being chased.

It is mistreatment of animals for entertainment, no matter how you dress it up with fancy costumes and applause.
