Do I regularly attend? No. Do I follow the circuits? No. Do I give a fvck in the slightest way? No. Do I have fond memories of my parents taking me to the annual local rodeo as a child? Yes.

So you like rodeos.

What would you say if I went to a cockfight in MX and was entertained?

One of the best All in the Family exchanges ever...

Archie: "Man was put here on this here earth to eat meat"
Mike: "Who says so?"
Archie: "Who says so? The Bible says so, dumbell."
Mike: "Where does it say that?"
Archie: "Aw come on look it up, will ya? Look at all those old Bible people they was always eatin' meat, as soon as they found out eatin' apples was wrong... That's true, they was always sacrificin' goats and lambs, who the hell ever thought about sacrificin' a head of lettuce, you?"

Nothing really. Blood sports have been around for thousands of years and I don't find them utterly evil. That said, I don't think slaughtering meat is the equivalent of dog fighting. Just not. One satisfying a necessity (even if there are other ways to do it).

I am a little baffled where this rodeo talk came from, but kicking a bull or throwing a calf on his asz is not the equivalent of dog fighting, but at least it is closer than eating meat.

How in the hell are buckstraps and cattle prods closer to eating meat?

In animal fighting as well as eating typically the animal dies.

I suppose each person is different but myself I would rather just be killed then tortured for a few years and then killed. And yes forcing something to convulse and electroschock is torture in my view. And yes rodeo animals are typically slaughtered after we humans have had our fun.

What exactly do you mean by forcing something to convulse?

And I think you are being a nancy about this cattle prod thing. These are giant animals with leather for skin, it is like you getting hit with a cattle prod at 1/10 power.

And if you would rather be mike Vicks dog than a rodeo bull, I wish you best of luck in the reincarnation lottery.

Eating the meat you kill is 100 billion times more ethically correct than killing something just to waste the meat.

Not sure how that's so fucking hard to understand.

You don't know what a buckstrap is. How do you think they get horses and bulls to buck like that?

And how on Earth do you know what a cattle prod feels like for a cow?

I would prefer to be neither; I just don't really buy the whole 'this form of torture is not as bad' argument.

And let's be clear, I am not saying rodeo's should be stopped. I am just saying that I would feel like a hypocrite being against animal fighting seeing that I am perfectly okay with slaughterhouses and rodeo's.

lol dumbass

You made up a number and ethics are arbitrary.

If you want to attempt to invoke some religious or otherwise deistic basis for animal rights I would be happy to point out Genesis 1:26. I think that's horseshit but it's just to point out that ethics are not defined by be 'it's only okay to hurt animals if you are going to eat them.'

You don't get to decide my or anyone else's ethics.

Neither do you.

But, I suppose when you are all out for social justice the rules change and you can rightfully judge anyone because you are a self-righteous dickhole.
