Horse Abused & Killed at Cheyenne Rodeo -

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A horse died after falling during a saddle bronc riding event at the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo.

Correction please... this 4 year old mare, Strawberry Fudge did not "die"... She was injured to death! Killed for "entertainment". As a "hobby" or "sport" for "wild west" wannbees.

And rodeos are supposed to represent "traditional American values".... People who support rodeos claim to be good Christian, patriotic folk - And they also claim that they do not tolerate animal abuse... Well, maybe the ancient blood drenched amphitheatre patrons were told that too...

You decide. Ask yourself... Really - what's the difference between these activities and dog fighting? Or rooster fighting? There's none that I can see, except that with rodeos... the animals stand even less of a chance against the biggest bully of them all: The "American" crap-kicking Cowboy.

Live Turkey Shoots - Cruel Killing Supported by the NRA

No, we're not done with turkeys quite yet - I knew of Pennsylvania's cruel pigeon shoots... where it is legal to release dazed, dehydrated and starved pigeons for the purpose of being used as targets for rifle wielding thugs. But I never knew till now of the state's ongoing "Live Turkey Shoots"... Keep in mind... these are factory farm turkeys that have their feet shackled! SHARK - SHowing Animal Respect and Kindness is noted most for it's undercover investigations exposing the cruelties in the "American" pastime of rodeos and bullfighting - but I thank them for taking the causes of these defenseless birds under their wing. Thanks SHARK - keep up your good works!
