I would end the Chuckwagon race to prevent needless death to horses and potential injuries to drivers and/or riders. I have no issues with other rodeo events, but then again I don't watch rodeo, not for any sociopolitical reasons, but because it doesn't interest me. For everyone who loves it, fill your boots. well some people are being extreme about get rid of the stampede/rodeo all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread started out like a flash, with the over used accusations of hypocrisy being thrown around. I hope we continue to be concerned for suffering of the the animals we consume and use for sport. I would look at getting rid of, or modifying events at the Stampede that result in high rates of mortality and injury. sure modify it maybe only have I wagon at time as long the horse stay safer I mean u cant prevent every accident that occurs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we have to watch out for innocents like Ben Richards who was wrongly accused in my below example. Since we are talking about entertaining competition for the future. Since we need some way to deal with the gangster losers of Surrey. It's time to start running!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand how someone can fight for equality of all living things and simultaneously denounce humans for not sharing their beliefs. If you want to get your message through. Treat everyone the same, kill them with kindness and lead by example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King, what makes you believe those horses are mistreated? Kids playing sports actually (very sadly) die from injury caused by play. Are those kids mistreated, or doing what they love to do? Cowboys love their horses. When you lose a horse it’s like losing your best friend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but those 61 horses are in the ring of honour. We're still talking about them! You ever punched a 'roo? Go to 42 secs.

If 61 kids dies playing ice hockey in Calgary over the same time period... yes questions would be asked about the activity....

These horses are treated extremely well and truly love what they do. Take away these races and you take away their purpose and joy. I always find it strange when people who's never been 10 feet from a chuck wagon horse feel their opinion supercede the people who live with, love and treat these horses as if they are their own family member. I'd encourage you to look into how well these all animals at the stampede are cared for. https://corporate.calgarystampede.com/animal-care/animal-care-questions-answers.html 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Sad about the horses but I'm sure they could learn from it and improve the situation. Overall I feel the Stampede is just Old West cosplay. I don't see anything wrong with it. It should be a fun, lost in time experience. I know a lot of people around the world who see it as a very Canadian thing. But a lot of it is modeled more on the American Old West than Canadian ranchers or farmers. I guess it's a part of Canadian heritage. But so is fur trapping. Not sure I'd support a fur trapping festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay some facts. I've been to rodeos all over North America and guess what those rough stock( I take you don't know what rough stock is and that's the Broncs and Bulls) have better health care then most Americans. Bucking is also something that comes natural to them....watch some colts or calves and you'll see it. Im a former bull rider and I could care less about the roping and steer wrestling but learn your facts before you open your mouth..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
