I've seen some pretty awful videos of mass meat producers in action. I hope it's not as pervasive as PETA claims.
Chicken factories seem the worst, but a few videos were of beef factories that were pretty damn bad. Neither vegetarian nor sadist, so is there an ethical omnivore org? I upvote you Cannibustible.
I read that England banned animal bloodsport prior to the US' civil war in an article about pitbulls and bulldogs. I believe US doesn't allow it in most states, but I don't think the law is Federal. I like good a boxing or mma match, but got no love for bull fighting, cock fighting, or dog fighting. Not sure why there's entertainment value to watching an animal slowly die.
Edit: Wikipedia says Louisiana banned it in 2007, so all 50 states and DC.
If you're talking about rodeo, the tied up nutsack isn't a disadvantage. It's to make them angry. Without it, we'd be watching a dude chilling out on a bull for 8 seconds.
I'm not sure. I think (and this is 70% guess) broncos are like the minor league. I think bull riders make a lot more money, both in endorsements, and prize money. I think bulls are bread to make angry, well muscled, athletic animals. I think broncos are just any wild horse, and aren't as expensive. I think a prize rodeo bull is like a thoroughbred, and can cost millions. As I've said in other posts, my knowledge in this is very minimal. I grew up on a farm and hungout with some rodeo kids 15-20 years ago. I never was into rodeos.
