If you all are seriously against things like the stampede,racing chuckwagons and horses and such…may I suggest thinking globally and acting locally.
I'd like to see pics of the best of you all protesting the ponies out at Hastings park.
Put your money where your mouth is.
No one is gonna get off their humanely broke high horse and take me up on this,are they?
Pretty much what I expected.

I think I'm on your ignore list so I'll save my time.

You aren't on mine though, have atter! How about the central park horses? Whaddya think of horses in traffic? Horses that ride on the side of highways? Horses used for tools on ranches to herd cattle (yes, this still happens)?

What about horses that are used for transportation / pack animals to hunt other animals? (PS, just picked up tags for the following yesterday: deer, elk, black bear, turkey, migratory and upland bird. Guess what - I plan to shoot and eat as many of those as I can manage and I'm allowed)
You fucking peckerheads (ok, mostly just Tungsten) are the ones who should be roped and castrated, so that this sort of crap ends with you.
That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.
I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.
retrievers are bred to retrieve and have a blast doing it, herding dogs are bred to herd and seem to love doing it. these horses are bred for and trained for years to race, they seem to enjoy racing and if you have ever watched a race live and seen the bond these horses form with their people you would be singing a different tune. it's heart breaking for all involved when there is a crash but to say the animals are put in duress just to get them racing then you're wrong.

You know what I really don't understand? Why are people who can manage multi-million dollar ranching operations that operate with only a handful of employees with a low impact on natural land through selective grazing programs - ranchers specializing in race animals - hung out to dry as complete and total slack jawed idiots in urban circles?
Every cowboy I've met (yes, 100% of them) has been gentle at heart with a very strong moral compass that surpasses the bulk of the population. The only thing greater than their love of their family and friends is the place that their animals hold in their hearts. The man who lost his horses in the Stampede is likely more upset than any of you bleeding hearts ever will be over the incident.

Can we assume you spent the 40 minute gap between posting and then calling out people for not responding by racing chuck wagons (if you support it so much)?

I was out protesting condos and priuses (priuii?)
…And treating your trails like a filthy whore.

It was my impression that this thread was about abusing animals for the entertainment of drunks. Though i'm sure there are some animals that dread their participation in rodeo events less than others, I'm pretty sure that most if not all of them would rather not be tail twisted, flanked, spurred, manhandled, or subjected to any other technique that forces their participation.
Yes we kill animals for food. Yes, some of these techniques are useful even though they might injure the animals in question. But why do we take a (subjectively) necessary evil and turn it into entertainment? Isn't prancing around in a ridiculous hat, getting drunk, and pretending to be a cowboy at a large fair with rides and exhibits enough for 'cityfolk'? Does the stampede really need the to watch men 'defeat' livestock?
Concur.
As for the stampede…nuke the whole lot of it. Seriously… Calgarians. Stampeders in particular:
Life. Get one.

im not so sure about your cowboy as jesus buddha reference….
To all the rednecks on here who are into this farmyard bondage submission porn shit I'll make you a deal.
Shut the fuck up about fixies and dubstep and I'll be happy to remain silent about your animal s[HTML_REMOVED]m.

Never. Rodeo is good fun. Fixies and dubstep are examples of how people are becoming pussies. We're out here producing wealth from the earth, and you sit in your cities, using our wealth to blog about how evil we are.

You were silent about the stampede to start with. None of us have ever started a thread talking about how much we hate fixies. Ya, hipster little teenagers are kind of douchy… but all teenagers are douchy and most guys are living into their late twenties like douches now too - that's just part of growing up (albeit slowly for most). Louis CK has it right; the best we can hope for is to get fat and die old.
I don't understand why all of Canada is so intent on changing the culture of Alberta and Saskatchewan away from it's western roots. Rodeos are part of the deal, and they don't just happen in the stampede - every single small town in Alberta has one, some have multiple. I live in a town of 7000, we have 3 annual rodeos. We get redneck and do things like race bored out lawn mowers, and bring in mud drag racers. We also have bull riding and saddle bronc competitions, and yes, chuck wagon races - there's one up the road from me tonight. This is an integral part of what make's the bulk of Alberta great.
