PETA denounces rodeo as cruel

PETA has been trying to put a stop to rodeo for many years now. They believe that the animals used in rodeo are cruelly abused and none of them treated fairly. I found an article on their website that cites various instances where animals were hurt or killed during rodeo events. Buck The Rodeo is just one harsh critic of rodeo. I am not saying that animals are not injured in the sport, but I do think that PETA sometimes blows things out of proportion. There will always be people that abuse animals and those peopl do need to be stopped, but PETA also needs to realize that many people in the sport of rodeo love there animals and take care of them as if they were a member of the family. For many people rodeo is their main income and could not afford harming their animals even if they were inclined to. I believe that there are two sides to every story, but people should actually educate themselves on both sides of the issue before making a harsh judgement call as PETA does in the above article.
