stouflville suntribune thursday may 17 2007 9 animals treated humanely rodeo says from page 1 generally other people are more educated about the sport of rodeo in places where you are not as apt to believe every thing they hear he said these animals are bred and raised for this purpose mr prince said this is a chance for people to showcase their skills with live stock can i say there will never be an injury these animals work less than 60 seconds per year he said pointing out the cattle compete for short periods at various events every animal has their inspection vaccina tions they are on a feeding regi men the care that goes into the livestock is second to none stouffvilles mary brown in a letter to the editor asked what madness is this that we are teaching our children our fami lies and condoning in our com- munity these are the helpless crea tures who suffer pain and torture trying to flee in fear and panic to run from the agony and pain of bucking straps she wrote the calf roping of child animals the size of your golden retriever who are slung by their necks thrown to the ground and bound this is cruelty inhumanity and exploitation of helpless crea tures trying desperately to run from the agony and pain inflict ed on them by civilized society in the name of rodeo entertain ment thornhill resident marcela donato has been lobbying mps and councillors on the issue i wouldnt call it sport or entertainment if animals are at risk of getting injured she said while rodeo companies say animals are treated in a humane way she does not agree i dont believe it not from what ive seen on tv or in pho tos she said ms donato has never been to a rodeo and said she does not need to see it live to know the animals suffer psychological dis tress they are not willing partici pants ms donato said i dont believe animals should be used for entertainment i believe ani mals are supposed to be left alone the ontario spca is opposed to rodeos but because they are legal the society works with the ontario rodeo association act ing chief inspector hugh coghill said the spca has an inspector on scene the day before a rodeo to make sure animals are healthy and at the event so if an animal gets hurt it receives adequate treatment rodeos get a bad name because of misconceptions mr prince believes for example some people believe bulls or horses have their genitals tied with a belt to make them buck or go up on their hind legs mr prince says the animals they use are either female or cas trated but mr coghill says the way the belt is tied around the ani mals stomach can still be painful without it the belt it bucking would be a halfheart ed attempt to get the cowboy off their back they use that the belt to irritate the animal he said but mr prince says it is a mis conception horses buck because they are angry rather they buck before they are even ridden by a person if you watch horses playing in a field they run buck play he said those that want to buck we use them as bucking horses those that want to ride we use as riding horses mr prince recommends the following websites to educate yourself about rodeos the pro fessional rodeo cowboys asso
