"Really awful the way they treated that adorable animal. Tortured and killed it on a live stream for entertainment, and then everyone just clapped. Really makes you think."

God damn, I swear. It feels like these vegans just overreact to everything.

Yeah, seriously! Like, it's a personal choice to kill for fun. These vegoons oughta back tf off.

Exactly! Had a group of guys complaining to me the other day, saying "You can't just shoot dogs in the street", "That was my seeing eye dog", and "Murderer".

I say that's really overreacting. We're smarter than them, we can do what we want! Namby-pamby vegans always get in the way of my recreational dog shooting.

As long as you are grateful and treat the dogs' mutilated dead bodies with respect, you're being mindful of the Circle Of Life. That's just how nature works.

The human equivalent to one orange braincell.

All my life I was told animals at the rodeo were the best treated animals in the world.

I worked backstage at a rodeo. That's a bold face lie.

After a cow is done with their round and they are chased back into the cage, that isn't a cage, it's a chute/tunnel and the only way to get them to walk down it is to have a cowboy hang from the bars and swing kick the cows on the ass.

Also, one of the competition rounds is literally chasing a baby cow with a horse, lassoing its legs to make it fall, jumping off the horse, lifting the baby cow off the ground, and then slamming it back onto the ground.

Rhetorical questions are rhetorical.

Who snapped a calf's neck at a rodeo?

And on Monday, June 8, a steer wrestler from Idaho named Stetson Jorgensen charged out of the gate on a horse, chasing after a terrified young cow. He jumped forcefully on the animal, grabbed him by the horns, and snapped his neck to the ground with his bare hands. The young cow lay stiff and motionless, and died shortly after.

Given the timing, I assume they are talking about this happening at the Calgary Stampede this past Monday.

Note: June 8 is a typo. Monday was July 8th.
