Rodeo: Calf Roping
In Defense of Animals describes the cruelty of calf-roping, one of the best known events in rodeo:
"After bursting out of the gate to escape his tormentors, the frightened animal runs at speeds approaching 30 miles per hour. The contestant rides alongside on horseback and lassos the calf by the neck, snapping his head back as the calf comes to an abrupt stop, flips in the air and falls to the ground. After jumping from his horse and slamming the three- to four-month old calf to the ground again to knock the wind out of his lungs, the cowboy shows off his skill by binding the animal’s legs with a rope."
