Taxonomists be out of control man! GTFO with “subterclass.”

Underrated comment, this is the crux of it all. 🔥

Everything is connected to everything else, somehow, whether or not we’ve identified or understood the mechanism. All life on the planet is struggling to adapt to the changes that have …

Can we just have a fair where animals are not abused or made to do things for human enjoyment???Rides, music, food, comedy shows, carnival weirdos doing tricks, etc? My daughter …

Broken leg for a horse means instant trip to the glue factory

1-2 out of 100’s of thousands.2 within minutes.

What do cattle have you do with horses at a fair?I have family that raise horses and cattle in Texas. My niece is a barrel racer and damn good at …

Still 1-2 out of hundreds of thousands.2 within hrs? I have many friends involved in rodeo. The animals beat the hell out of them 99.9 % of the time.

Wow, I didnt realize how dire a broken leg could be for a horse. 2 happening in 1 show seems astonishingly unlikely, how did it happen here?

The PRCA only sanctions about 30% of rodeo events. 50% are sanctioned by some other organization, and 20% are completely unsanctioned. I’m guessing this event fell into the latter category.

Was this a PRCA sanctioned event?

What was wrong? Nationally 1 to 2 animals die each year in PRCA sanctioned events. 2 horses broke legs and were subsequently put down within minutes of each other. What …

The dogs were mostly border collie types doing things border collies love to do - running and jumping - not being shot out of a cannon or dumped off a …

Race horses breaking legs is quite common because of the aforementioned breeding issues. Not likely to be anything to do with the track facility.

Southern California horse tracks also have lots of horse deaths. Thoroughbreds have fragile legs.

Still holds no worries.

It’s supposed to be a hand up.

According to industry-affiliated veterinarian data, direct animal fatalities at PRCA-sanctioned events are rare, averaging 1 to 2 deaths per year across hundreds of thousands of animal exposures.Major groups state a …

Yeah, sorry. I thought I was quick enough.

Kansas City, Mo. – Earlier today, a truck hauling three sea lions to perform in Sea Lion Splash at the Missouri State Fair slammed into a barrier on Interstate 70, …

Thank you!

Disgusting perception of the situation. Perhaps you would like to volunteer to be tortured next year.

Despicable, immoral, unethical, and cruel. Rodeos=the suffering of innocent, voiceless creatures. Please follow for us and find out what happened to those poor victims!

You’re right, and I still disagree with the premise.

They did minimal repairs on the grandstands. They brought it up to 50% of the required load.

Dogs live to please us. I’m sure the dogs are loved. If a dog were injured even a broken leg he would be treated not killed. I actually know a …

I was thrilled when horse racing was cancelled. But I boycotted the fair when I learned there would just be different animal abuse for human entertainment: the rodeo, trained seals …

At Ferndale its win, place, show, dead.

Heartbreaking for sure. No empathy for the horses.How much money went into building new grandstands for the horse racing at the fair? Anyone remember? It was a few years ago. …

Ah, the ole FU Rodeo. Up next, bullfighting next to the seal show.
