OH YEAH?! If you don’t like our comments here- then just don’t post here!

Seriously though I hear that you’re inside the rodeo scene and you see animals well cared for. It makes a bit of sense that they would be as that’s what those cowboys (and many others) are making a living with them. And any animal activist worth their salt should never be roped in by faked photos or videos, if that’s what is happening here.

That said I think there are some rodeos that abuse their animals, but not all. Conversely, I doubt as you said (that all)– rodeos are NOT animal cruelty.

Are we saying that the event activities inherent within a rodeo are cruel, or that the unregulated training practices, testes-ring squeezing, electric prodding, etc is animal abuse? Or both?

I think clearing up that would help us from making blanket reactionary statements.

I hate it when you people judge us like that. Rodeos are NOT animal cruelty. Yes, some get hurt but you guys are discusting saying that our animals are cruely treated. Rodeo animals are probably some of the most well taken care of animals in the world! If you dont like it… then just dont watch it!

As a member of the CA press I support what you all do. I have been exposed to the CFD Media smuck, Bob Budd who told me that they (CFD Committee) does not want or care about out of state press coverage. Now I know why. He allows only his friends and drinking buddies to get credentials. I have been credentialed by CFD for 2009 and will send you photos. Thanks for all you do. Tom

Also SHARK should quit using doctored photos to prove there point. The photos could at least be in Cheyenne.

Match Box who? Like It really matters if a Teeny Bopper band comes to Wyoming. Have these people ever worked livestock? I doubt it. The next time you eat a really good burger just consider the work of the real cowboys that went into putting it on your plate. People should consintrate on bitching about things they really have a clue about.

Animal cruelty CANNOT be tolerated.

Great Job SHARK!

MB20 Should probably have never agreed to do the concert in the first place, unless they had never heard of the word “Rodeo” before.

I should have known that the Cheyenne Frontier Days would do something like this. They are extra made because MB20 would have made mega profits for them…. I’m sure there were a lot of people that would have gone just to see MB20 and didn’t show up because MB20 canceled!

Are they even aware that Rob and Marisol Thomas started the Sidewalk Angels Foundation – they don’t like animal cruelty! They are in team with Pets Alive!!

I hope against all hope that CFD does not win against SHARK — I’m sure then MB20 will be called in to testify… this is getting deep and all over $$$!!

Thank YOU for this information and to a friend that alerted me to your story!!!
