Rodeo ( or ) is a competitive sport emerging from the practice of grazing livestock in Spain, Mexico, and then Central America, South America, USA , Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is based on the skills required of vaqueros who work and then, cowboys, in what today is the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico. Today is a sporting event involving horses and other livestock, designed to test the skills and pace of the cowboys and cowboy girls. The American-style professional rodeo generally consists of the following events: tying ropes, team roping, steering wrestling, horse saddle racing, horse riding horses, horse racing, and racing racing. Events are divided into two basic categories: crude stock events and timed events. Depending on the organization and territory sanctions, other events such as breakaway escape, goat bonding, or bending poles may also be part of some rodeos.
The American Rodeo, very popular today in the Canadian province of Alberta and throughout the western United States, is the official sport of the states of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Texas. The iconic silhouette image of "Bucking Horse and Rider" is a federal and state trademark registered in the State of Wyoming. The Alberta Legislative Assembly has considered making America the official provincial sports rodeo. However, enabling legislation has not been passed.
In the United States, the professional rodeo is regulated and approved by the Professional Cowboys Rodeo Association (PRCA) and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA), while other associations manage children's rodeos, secondary schools, colleges and seniors. Associations also exist for Native Americans and other minority groups. The traditional season for competitive rodeo runs from spring to autumn, while the modern professional rodeo circuit runs longer, ending with the PRCA National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is now held in December.
Rodeo has provoked opposition from animal rights advocates and animal welfare, who argue that various competitions are animal cruelty. The American rodeo industry has made progress in improving the welfare of rodeo animals, with special requirements for animal care and other regulations that protect rodeo animals. However, the rodeo was opposed by a number of animal welfare organizations in the United States and Canada. Some local and state governments in North America have banned or restricted rodeos, certain rodeo events, or equipment types. Internationally, the rodeo is banned in the UK and the Netherlands, with other European countries putting restrictions on certain practices.

Etymology
The English word "rodeo" is taken directly from the Spanish rodeo ( [ro'ÃÆ' Â ° eo] ), which is roughly translated into English as "collecting."
The Spanish word comes from the verb rodear, which means "round" or "around," used to refer to "pen for livestock in a fair market," derived from the Latin rota or rotare, which means spinning or spinning.
In Spanish America,
The term rodeo was first used in English around 1834 to refer to livestock excavations. Currently this word is used primarily to refer to public cowboy skills exhibitions, usually in the form of competitive events.

The history of rodeo
Many rodeo events are based on the tasks required by the farm. Cowboys work to develop skills to suit the needs of the western terrain and climate of America, and there are many regional variations. The skills required to manage cattle and horses date back to the Spanish tradition of vaquero.
Rodeo affairs such as the early 1820s and 1830s were informal events in the western United States and northern Mexico with cowboys and vaqueros testing their working skills against each other. After the American Civil War, the rodeo competition emerged, with the first being held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Prescott, Arizona claimed the distinction of holding the first professional rodeo, for wearing entry fees and award trophies in 1888. Between 1890 and 1910, the rodeo became public entertainment, sometimes combining Wild West shows featuring individuals such as Buffalo Bill Cody, Annie Oakley, and other charismatic stars. In 1910, several major rodeos were established in western North America, including the Calgary Stampede, Pendleton Round-Up, and Cheyenne Frontier Days.
The Rodeo-type events have also become popular for some time in major cities in the Eastern United States, with great places like Madison Square Garden playing a role in popularizing them for the new crowd. There was no standardization of events for the rodeo competition until 1929, when the association began to take shape.
In the 1970s, the rodeo saw unprecedented growth. Contestants who are referred to as "new breeds" bring the rodeo to increase media attention. The contestants are young, often from an urban background, and choose rodeos for their athletic awards. In 1985, one-third of PRCA members had college education and half of the competitors had never worked in cattle ranches. Today, some professional rodeos are staged in a spacious and air-conditioned arena; offering big purses, and often broadcast. Many other professional rodeos are held outside, under the same conditions as heat, cold, dust or mud like the original incident.
Female
Historically, women have long participated in the rodeo. "Prairie Rose" Henderson debuted at the Cheyenne rodeo in 1901, and, in 1920, women competed in rough events, relay contests, and tricks on horseback. But after Bonnie McCarroll died in Pendleton Round-Up in 1929 and Marie Gibson died in a horse accident in 1933, women's competitive participation was curbed. Rodeo women are organized into various associations and perform their own rodeos. Today, women's barrel racing is included as a competition in a professional rodeo, with breakaway escapees and tying goats added at the college level and lower. They compete on par with men in team ropes, sometimes in mixed teams. Women also compete in traditional excavations and rough activities in female-specific rodeos.
Competitive events
Professional rodeos in the United States and Canada typically combine both timed and "rough" events, the most common being a waist belt, team roping, steering wrestling, saddle bronc and riding without horses, horseback riding and barrel racing. Additional events can be included at the college and high school level, including escape and goat bonding. Some events are based on traditional farming practices; others are modern developments and have no partners in livestock practices.
Rodeos can also offer western-themed entertainment during breaks, including new music and acts, such as horse riding tricks.
Time event
Roping
The competition race is based on the work of a working cowboy, who often has to catch adult cows and cattle for branding, medical care and other purposes. The cowboy must throw a rope with a circle, known as a rope, riata or reata , or lasso, above head of the calf or to the horns and around it. hind legs of adult cattle, and securing animals in a manner determined by their size and age. Cald Roping, also called Tie-down Roping, is based on livestock work where the calves are tied for branding, medical care, or other purposes. This is the oldest event of the rodeo. The cowboy caught a calf running through his neck with a strap, and his horse stopped and returned to the rope while the cowboy descended, ran to the calf, threw it to the ground and tied the three legs together. (If the calf falls when tied up, the cowboy should lose the waiting time for the calf to re-stand so the cowboy can do the job.) The horse's job is holding the calf steady on the rope. The well trained calf will slowly retreat while the cowboys tie up the calves, to help keep the ropes. Other timed events
"Crude competition"
Despite popular myths, most modern "horses" are not really wild horses, but the more common horses or horses are specially spoiled as bucking stock. Rough events also use at least two trained riding horses driven by "pick up men" (or women), who are in charge of helping fallen riders and helping unsuccessful riders survive bucking animals.
- Bronc on horseback - there are two divisions in the rodeo, a horse-riding ride, where the rider is only allowed to rely on a bucking horse with a surearle type called "rigging"; and ride saddlebags, where the rider uses a special western saddle without horns (for safety) and hangs onto a heavy lead rope, called a bronc control, attached to a halter on a horse.
- Horseback riding - an event in which cowboys ride a fully grown bull instead of a horse. Although skills and equipment similar to those required to ride a three-legged horse are required, the event is quite different from the competition on horseback because of the dangers involved. Because bulls are unpredictable and can attack fallen riders, rodeo clowns, now known as "bullfighters", work during horse riding to distract bulls and help prevent injuries to competitors.
- Drive a rudder - a rough show for boys and girls where kids ride, usually in a manner similar to a bull. Age varies by region, as there are no national rules set for this event, but generally participants are at least eight years old and compete around the age of 14. This is a training event for horse riding and horseback riding.
Less common events
Some other events may be scheduled on the rodeo program depending on the association governing the rodeo.
- Steering steering - Not listed as an official PRCA event, and banned in some states, but secretly recognized by PRCA in some areas. This is rarely seen in the United States today due to the risk of tremendous injury to all involved, as well as concerns about animal cruelty. One strap rope leads the rudder around the horn, throwing a rope around the back hip, dallies, and rides steering in a ninety degree angle to the rope rope (opposite side of the aforementioned hips). This action directs the driver's head toward the foot in such a way as to direct the steer's head toward the hind leg. This causes the steer to be a "trip". Steer too big to tie in the way used for calves. Not having a "heeler," it's very difficult for someone to hold an adult steer once down. However, the "ride" of the steer causes it to be temporarily incapacitated so that its legs should be tied in a manner similar to a calf strap. The show is rooted in a ranch north of the Rio Grande, but is no longer visible in most American rodeos. However, it is practiced in some rodeos in Mexico, and may also be referred to as "steer tripping."
- Steer daubing - Usually seen at lower levels of competition, an event to help young competitors learn the skills that will be required for steam wrestling. A rider carrying a long stick with a polish with a paint on the end tries to run next to a bull and puts a paint mark inside a circle that has been pulled on the animal's side.
- Pole bending is a competition of speed and agility that is sometimes seen in local and high school rodeos. This is more often seen as a gimnana or O-Mok-See competition. On a flexible pole, horses and riders run the length of the six-pole line upright, turn sharply and weave through the poles, turn again and weave again, then back to the beginning.
- Chute Dogging is an event to teach pre-teenage boys how to control wrestling. Competitors enter the bucking niche with a small steer. The boy will then place his right arm around the mother's neck and left hand above his neck. When it is ready, the gates are opened and piloted and participants out of the channel. Once they cross the designated line, the competitor will catch the steer horn (daily, to "hook-up" to the steer) and wrestle to the ground.
Other activities
Beyond competitive events, other activities are often associated with rodeos, especially at the local level. A typical rodeo begins with "Grand Entry", where riders ride, many carry flags, including American flags, country flags, banners representing sponsors, and others enter the arena by running, circle once, come to the center of the arena and pause the remaining participants entered. Large entries are used to introduce multiple competitors, officers, and sponsors. This is limited by the presentation of the American flag, usually by performing "The Star-Spangled Banner," and, depending on the region, other ceremonies. If the rodeo queen is crowned, contestants or winners and runners-up may also be presented.
Various actions, which may include musicians, tricks riders or other entertainment may occur in the midst of a rodeo at rest. Some rodeos may also include new events, such as riding horses for preteen or "goat" children for small children. In some places, various types of competitions or new events such as wild cow guards are offered for adults. Such contests are often unregulated, with a higher risk of injury to human participants and ill-treatment of animals than in events traditionally approved, especially if the consumption of alcoholic beverages by participants is permitted.
Organizations set up in the United States
The formal organization and detailed rules come too late for the rodeo. Until the mid-1930s, each rodeo was independent and chose its own event from among nearly a hundred different contests. Until World War I, there was little difference between rodeo and charreada . Athletes from the US, Mexico and Canada compete freely in all three countries. Furthermore, charreada was inaugurated as an amateur sports team and international competition ceased. It remains popular in Mexico and the Hispanic community in the US today.
Many organizations organize rodeos in the United States, each with slightly different rules and different events. The oldest and largest professional rodeo body is the Association of Professional Cowboys Rodeo (PRCA) which organizes about one third of all rodeos staged in the US each year. Originally named the Cowboy Turtles Association, it later became the Rodeo Cowboys Association, and finally the Rodeo Cowboys Professional Association in 1975. The PRCA crowned the World Champion at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), in Las Vegas on the UNLV campus, featuring the top fifteen prize winners in seven events.
The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) is a newer organization dedicated solely to bull riding. Rodeo gender bias was a problem for cowgirls, and in response women formed the Girls Rodeo Association in 1948 (now the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA)) and held their own rodeos. The Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) is open specifically for women. Women's bullet races are organized by WPRA, which hosts the final for the barrel race alongside PRCAs with cowboys in the NFR. There are associations that govern rodeos of children, youth, and college levels and associations that govern rodeos for gay, elderly, Native Americans, and others.
There is also a high school rodeo, sponsored by the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA). Many colleges, especially tertiary land grants in the west, have a rodeo team. The National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) is responsible for the National College of Finals Rodeo (CNFR) held every June in Casper, WY. Other rodeo governing bodies in the United States include the American Junior Rodeo Association (AJRA) for contestants under the age of twenty; The National Little Britches Rodeo Association (NLBRA), for young people aged five to eighteen; Senior Pro Rodeo (SPR), for persons aged forty and older; and the International Gay Rodeo Association. Each organization has its own rules and methods to determine the champion. Athletes participate in a rodeo approved by their own government agency or who have mutual consent with them and their points are counted for qualifying to their Association Final. The Rodeo Committee shall pay the cost of sanction to the appropriate regulatory body, and employ the stock contractor, judges, broadcasters, bull fighters, and barrels required from the approved list. Other countries have similar sanctions organizations.
To date, the most important is the PRCA, which crowns World Champion at National Finals Rodeo (NFR), held since 1985 in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring fifteen top money winners in seven events. The athletes who win a lot of money, including NFR earnings, in every event is the World Champion. However, since 1992, Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) has attracted many bull riders, and holds the final of millions of dollars in Las Vegas before the NFR. Women's barrel races are regulated by WPRA, and hold the final with PRCA with cowboys in the NFR.
The contemporary rodeo is a lucrative business. More than 7,500 cowboys compete for over thirty million dollars at 650 rodeos each year. Female barrel racing, approved by WRPA, has occurred in most of these rodeos. More than 2,000 barrel riders compete for nearly four million dollars each year. Professional cowgirls also compete in horse riding and horse races, team assignments and piling up calves under PWRA, ​​a subsidiary of WPRA. However, the numbers are small, about 120 members, and these competitors are largely overlooked, with only twenty rodeos and seven individual contests available each year. Total wallet in the National PWRA Finals is $ 50,000. Meanwhile, PBR has 700 members from three continents and ten million dollars prize money.
Canada
The first rodeo in Canada was held in 1902 in Raymond, Alberta when Raymond Knight funded and promoted a rodeo contest for horsemen and directed ropers called Raymond Stampede. Knight also coined the term rodeo "trampled" and built the first known bode trike. In 1903, Knight built the first rodeo and tribune arena in Canada and became the first rodeo manufacturer and rodeo shareholder.
In 1912, Guy Weadick and some investors put up $ 100,000 to create what today is the Calgary Stampede. The Stampede also incorporates elements of myth and history, including indigenous Indians in the full regalia, chuckwagon racing, Installed Police, and marching bands. From the beginning, the event was held the second week in July, and since 1938, the participants were urged to dress for the event in the western hat to add sense to the event.
In 2003, it was estimated that 65 professional rodeos involving 700 members of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) took place in Western Canada, along with professionals from the United States. Many Canadian contestants are part-time workers who do not earn significant income from rodeos. \
Canada made some significant contributions to the rodeo sport. In 1916, at Bascom Ranch in Welling, Alberta, John W. Bascom and his son, Raymond, Mel, and Earl designed and built a rodeo delivery-side delivery rodeo for the rodeo farms they produced. In 1919, Earl and John made a channel for the reopening of the first rodeo openings at Bascom Ranch in Lethbridge, Alberta. This parcel of Bascom-style is now a standard design rodeo. Earl Bascom also continued his innovative contribution to the rodeo sport by designing and making the first hornless rodeo saddle rodeo in 1922, the first uneven rodeo first hand in 1924, and the first rodeo pieces in 1928. Earl and his brother Weldon also produced the first rodeo night rodeo held outdoors under electric lights in 1935.
The Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall Of Fame is located in Ponoka, Alberta.
Minority participation in the United States and Canada
Mexican Americans have a long history with rodeo and charreada . Despite the long association with southwestern culture, there has been significant assimilation and cross-acculturation - Mexican Americans are highly integrated into the southwestern cowboy culture so they do not look different.
Native American and Hispanic cowboys compete in modern rodeos in small quantities. African Americans are a smaller minority of rodeo contestants, although many early rodeo champions, such as Nat Love, are African American. Bill Pickett and horseman Bill Stahl are both elected to the Cowboy Hall of Fame. During the 1940s and 1950s, African-Americans created the Southwest's Colored Cowboys Association. Although PRCA has never formally ruled out colored people, pre-1960 racism effectively made many minority participants, especially African Americans, out of white competition. In the 1960s, rider bison Myrtis Dightman competed for a national award and qualified for the National Final Rodeo. In the 1990s, the Black World Championship Rodeo was held in New York City and other locations throughout the United States.
In 1976, the first gay rodeo was held in Reno, Nevada as a charity fundraiser. Several regional gay rodeo organizations were formed in subsequent years, and, in 1985, existing organizations established the Gay Rodeo International Association as a national sanctioning body. The union of homosexuality and cowboy culture straight in the gay rodeo simultaneously includes the typical features of the Cowboy Code and the contemporary gay identity. Competitors open their own gay stage rodeo as they are not greeted on a straight circuit. "We can ride with the best of them," someone said, "But they do not want us there."
Latin America
Mexico
The charreada is Mexico's national sport. This is the look and contest of roping and riding with origins tracing the life of colonial mexican farming and culture. Over time, it becomes an event that includes games, parades, food, and contests involving humans, cattle, and horses. After the Mexican Revolution of 1910, many rural Mexicans were displaced and living in cities, where people living in urban areas and others formed associations to build and repair charreada.
During the 1970s "Chicano Movement", Mexican Americans revitalized their heritage by setting up events in the United States. This event has historically enjoyed greater prestige in Mexico, however, and due to animal cruelty, some events of
Unlike rodeos, most charreadas do not give money to the winners because charreada is considered an amateur sport, but trophies can be distributed. Until now, charreada is limited to men but the women's precision equestrian event called escaramuza is now the tenth and final event in charreada . Unlike the American rodeo, events are not timed, but are judged and judged on the basis of proficiency and elegance.
After at least 30 years of American Rodeo practiced in Mexico, La Federación Mexicana de Rodeo (FMR) was formed in 1993 as the country's leading sports organization. Since 1997, the National Final Rodeo of Mexico has been held to crown the national champions in each of the seven standard events at American Rodeo. This annual event is held every time in a different city.
Colombia and Venezuela
Coleo is a traditional Venezuelan and Colombian sport, similar to the American rodeo, where a small group of llaneros (cowboys) ride horses at high speed through narrow paths (called manga de coleo) to drop or knock them down. Coleos is usually presented as a side attraction for larger events, such as religious festivals. They are very popular in Venezuela and in parts of Colombia, mostly on the plains (llanos). A coleo starts with the participants and a calf or bull (this depends on the age and stature of the competitors) who are locked behind a trap door. The trap door leads to a narrow dirt track about 100 meters long with a high guard rail, open at the other end. When a judge gives a signal, his calf is released and starts walking. Seconds later, the riders are released and they race to grab the calf with their tails. The rider who finishes this first will increase the speed, drag the calf until it finally stumbles. The goal is to achieve this in no time.
Brazil
Brazil's "Rodeios" can be traced to the town of Barretos where major economic activities involve livestock and livestock transport to other locations, where one of the ways cowboys find entertainment is riding animals. In 1956, the first Festa do Peà o de Boiadeiro was created and over time this rodeo became the largest in Brazil and in Latin America. Barretos is the most famous rodeo in Brazil. However, the rodeo is very common in Brazilian state cities, especially in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul and Sà <â € Å" Paulo. Riding a bull has been a significant niches sport in the country in recent years; The PBR now runs a national circuit in Brazil, and the Brazilian rider is a major presence on the main PBR circuit in the United States. Brazil also has a unique style to ride a horse, called Cutiano . The PBR also hosts the Brazil Final. Argentina
In the twentieth century, the popularity of the rodeo increased in Argentina. Buenos Aires, the Rosary, and other major cities hosted the rodeo. In 1909, Sociedad Sportiva Argentina (Argentina Sports Society) announced a rodeo competition in which the winners will eventually compete in the United States against rodeo players from other countries.
Chile
Second for soccer, the rodeo is the most popular sport in Chile, and became the national sport of Chile on January 10, 1962 with the decree of Nºº69 from the National Sports Council and Comità ©  © OlÃÆ'mpico de Chile.
Chile rodeo trail into the 16th century, starting with collecting together lost or abandoned cattle at Plaza de Armas de Santiago for branding and selection. Rodeo began to see the regulations in the 17th century and talented riders received awards and awards.
In the Chilean rodeo, a team of two men installed (called collera ) attempted to pin the calf onto a large pillow over the arena (medialuna). Points earned for proper technique. Chile Horse is used to override others and motorists wear traditional hues clothing as a requirement. This sport became so popular that in 2004, more spectators attended rodeos than professional football games. Chile rodeo has suffered financial woes, lack of political support and poor promotions. Unlike other Chilean sports, the rodeo does not receive any revenue from Chiledeport because it is the only sport representing Chile abroad that receives the funds. The Chilean Rodeo Federation criticized the lack of government funding and has shown that the rodeo reaches part of the population that has no access to other Chilean sports.
Australia
Rodeos has long been a popular competitor and audiences sport in Australia, but it was not run in an organized manner until the 1880s. The Victorian National Farming Society performed one of the earliest recorded events of 1888, when a paralyzed competition was held at their annual event. Rodeo tent travels show a rough increase in popularity across Australia. However, in 1930, depression left little of this traveling show on the road.
Bushmen Bushes, the Australian equivalent of American rodeos, originated in New South Wales North in 1920 and established by the 1930s. The Australian Rodeo continued to grow after World War II, and in September 1978 riders from the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia competed in the World Rodeo Title there with a prize money of $ 60,000. In 1982, the Australian Bushmen Carnival Association team competed in the North American Rodeo Commission championships in Denver, Colorado, which occupy the sixth overall.
In August 1944 the Australian Bushmen Carnival Association (ABCA) was formed by the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales, as a result of an increasing number of bushmen carnivals. The objective of this formation was to standardize rules and regulations, but inadequate support was given and the association was terminated in 1947. The Australian Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) was also established in 1944 and is a national body for professional rodeo competitions. Also formed in 1944 was the Australian Rough-Riders Association (ARRA) in South Australia. On March 28, 1946 the North Carnival Association (N.S.W.) Bushmen was founded in Maitland, New South Wales. These two associations are now Campdraft & amp; Association of Rodeo (ABCRA). The ABCRA is the largest rodeo and campdraft organization in Australia. In May 1992 the National Rodeo Council of Australia (NRCA) was formed to promote the rodeo sport and has represented ABCRA and several other associations.
The original events include buckjumping, horseback riding, camping, bulldogging, milking wild cows, wild cowboy races, wild horse races and surcingle releases. Other common sporting events such as flag and bending races (similar to bending poles) are held for competitor horses.
Then the term "rodeo" became more commonly used, with the American saddle used and the event took the American nomenclature. ABCRA now affiliates campdrafting sports, roughriding (saddle bronc and bareback riding, steer and bull riding) and rodeo time: race barrels (women and junior), rope and tie, undecorating steer (women), steer wrestling, junior calf riding , roping team and breakout (woman) breakout.
There are strict standards for the selection, care and care of livestock rodeos, arenas, plus equipment requirements and specifications.
In 1992, the Rodeo Queen Quest National was established by the National Rodeo Council of Australia to promote and encourage young women into the Rodeo sport.
Carnivals and rodeos usually take place during spring and summer, and are usually arranged to avoid date clashes, so competitors can take part in as many events as possible. Prize money is earned from donations and entrance fees, with major prize money for open campdraft events.
The largest rodeo is in Queensland. Several major events are also held in New South Wales, where Sydney has a rodeo during the Royal Agricultural Society show and Walcha holds campdrafting and rodeo competitions for four days each year. There is also the National Final Rodeo.
Animal care controversy
The protest was first raised in relation to rodeo animal cruelty in the 1870s, and, beginning in the 1930s, some countries enacted laws restricting rodeo activities and other events involving animals. In the 1950s, the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA, then PRCA) worked with the American Humane Association (AHA) to establish rules that protect rodeo animal welfare acceptable to both organizations. The PRCA recognizes that public education on rodeo and animal welfare is needed to keep the sport alive.
Over the years, animal conditions in the rodeo and many other sporting events have increased. Currently, PRCA and other rodeo-giving organizations have strict rules to ensure rodeo animal welfare. For example, these rules require, inter alia, provisions for wounded animals, the presence of veterinarians in all rodeos (similar requirements exist for other horse events), padded cord straps, horn protection to steer, and spur with a blunt, free-spin rowel. Rodeo competitors are in general value and provide excellent care to the animals they use. Animals should also be covered with featherweight straps to bend and wrap the horns to steer the wheel.
The laws governing the rodeo vary greatly. In western America, some countries incorporate PRCA rules into their laws as a standard for evaluating whether animal cruelty has occurred. On the other hand, some events and practices are restricted or prohibited in other countries, including California, Rhode Island, and Ohio. St. Petersburg, Florida is the only region in the United States with a complete rodeo ban. The Canadian Humanitarian Society is cautious in criticizing the Canadian rodeo because it has become very original in Western Canada so criticism can jeopardize support for other humanitarian goals. The Calgary Human Society itself is wary of criticizing the famous Calgary Stampede. The international rodeo itself is banned in Britain and the Netherlands, and other European countries have limited certain practices.
However, a number of human and animal rights organizations have policy statements against many rodeo practices and often the events themselves. Some also claim that rules vary from unclear to ineffective and often violated. Other groups claim that any rule still allows rodeo animals to be subjected to hazardous dangers for entertainment, and therefore rodeos should be banned altogether.
In response to these concerns, a number of cities and states, predominantly in the eastern part of the United States, have passed the ordinances and laws governing the rodeo. Pittsburgh, for example, specifically prohibits astounding electrical appliances or devices, straps or straps, wire fastens, and spurs or barrels or sharp or fixed. Pittsburgh also requires humanitarian officers to be given access to any and all areas where animals can go - especially pens, launchers, and pen injuries. The state of Rhode Island has banned stitching and certain other practices. Other locales have similar ordinances and laws.
Positions taken by the animal welfare organization
There are three main areas of interest to the various groups. The first set of concerns surrounds the relatively common practice of rodeos, such as the use of a strap, also known as a strap, the use of a metal or electric cowboy, and a tail player. The second concern revolves around non-traditional rodeo events operating outside of organizational rules that impose sanctions. These are usually amateur events such as goat busting, calf sauce, wild cow's milking, horse riding, chuck wheel races, and other events designed primarily for publicity, part-time entertainment or crowd participation. Finally, some groups consider some or all of the rodeo events themselves cruel.
Groups such as PETA, SHARK, and the Humane Society of the United States generally take an oppositional position against all rodeos and rodeo events. A more general position is taken by ASPCA, only opposing rodeo events that "involve cruel, painful, stressful and potentially harmful livestock, not only in performance but also in handling, transportation and impetus to perform." The group selects children's rodeo events such as tying goats, riding calves, and riding sheep ("goats"), "which do not promote humane care and respect for animals."
The American Humane Association (AHA) does not appear to oppose rodeos alone, even though they have a common position in events and contests involving animals, stating that "when animals engage in entertainment, they must be treated humanely all the time." AHA also has strict requirements for animal care used for rodeo scenes in the film, starting with PRCA rules and adding additional requirements in accordance with other association policies.
Unique among animal protection groups, ASPCA specifically notes that training sessions are often a site of heavier offenses than competition. However, many state animal cruel laws provide specific exceptions to "training practices." The American Humane Association is the only organization dealing with legislative issues, advocating the strengthening of animal cruelty laws in general, without exception to "training practice".
Myths and actual modern practices
Some allegations of cruelty are based on misunderstandings. For example, it is a myth that horse bucking is a wild animal and fears. A modern bronc is not a really wild horse. A large number of horse bucking riding horses are learning to escape from their riders.
Many of today's horse bucking are specially bred for use in rodeos. A proven bucking horse can sell for $ 8,000 to $ 10,000, making "rough inventory" a valuable investment that should be maintained and maintained for many years. Likewise, bull bucking is also selectively raised. Most are allowed to grow in natural, semi-wild conditions in the open range, but also must be trained to be managed from the ground, safely loaded into trailers, vaccinated and worms, and loaded in and out of bucking launches.
The young bucking horse was originally introduced to work with cloth dummies attached to the saddle. The others have been trained on the ground. Some horse bucking champions got their start as spoiled horseback riding who learned to quickly and effectively bite the rider. Due to the rigors of travel and the short bursts of high-intensity work required, most horses in bucking strings are at least 6 or 7 years old before their widespread use, and are expected to be voice players for years. The award is given to the best bucking horse owners, who are honored as athletes of horses and perform for years. Many are retiring to the meadow at the end of their careers. Many bucking horses understand their work well and reduce or stop their blows, even while still wearing a pelvic cord, once they break away from the rider or hear the bell. Likewise, some bulls seem to understand that their "job" is to throw riders away; they learn not to take the money when in the skating and swoop so much less so riders are thrown.
Industry position
Modern raids in the United States are strictly regulated and have responded to allegations of animal cruelty by instituting a number of rules to guide how rodeo animals should be managed. In 1994, a survey of 28 approved rodeos was performed by an on-site independent veterinarian. Reviewing 33,991 walking animals, the degree of injury is documented in 16 animals or 0.047 percent, less than five per cent of one percent or one of 2,000 animals. A study of rodeo animals in Australia found similar rates of injury. Basic injuries occurred at the 0.072 percent level, or one in 1405, with injuries requiring veterinary attention at 0.036 percent, or one injury in every 2810 times the animal was used, and transportation, pages and competition were all included in the study. The PRCA survey then on 60,971 animal shows in 198 rodeo shows and 73 "sagging" sections showed 27 injured animals, again roughly five per cent from 1 percent - 0.0004.
However, allegations of atrocities in the US remain. The PRCA admits they only sanction about 30 percent of all rodeos, while another 50 percent are sanctioned by other organizations and 20 percent are completely sanctioned. The PRCA opposes the general concept of animal rights, but supports animal welfare - the view that humans have the right to use animals but are responsible for their human treatment and care. The PRCA takes the position that the organization does this and even exceeds expectations. Not all rodeos are governed by the PRCA, although the organizations that govern the college and high school rodeos base their rules on PRCAs. However, certain amateur and "backyard" rodeos are not regulated, and do not follow PRCA rules.
Advocates for rodeo countries that animals that are sick, hurt, hungry, or greatly abused can not perform well in a particular event. Rough stock should be healthy and well fed to give the cowboy a strong ride and challenge enough to get a high score. The straps should be an incentive for animals that already want to finish off riders, not pets, or animals will run away from pain instead of money, quickly sour and refuse to work, regardless of the pain that may occur. inflicted. Steering and stringing the calves will not be detached from the parachute fast enough for ropers to reach fast time if they are paralyzed or weakened, and they are generally not used for more than one season.
Health regulations require vaccinations and animal blood tests across national borders, so rodeo supplies receive routine care. An injured animal will not make money well and hence a cowboy can not get a high score for his journey, so that sick or injured animals are not beaten by a parachute, but are given appropriate veterinary care so that they can return to their usual level of strength. and strength. The PRCA rules require that veterinarians be available at all rodeos to treat both bucking stock and other necessary animals.
The PRCA emphasizes that they first issued the rules for the care of a decent and humane animal in 1947, seven years before the founding of Human Society in the United States. Participants were fined for violating animals, and a study of 21 PRCA roses found only 15 animals injured in 26,584 performances, or 0.06 percent.
On the other hand, there is a chance of breach of rules and animal abuse in an approved rodeo. However, major national rodeos are also under the most rigorous scrutiny and are most likely to follow strict rules. The Rodeo is not subject to the rules of the PRCA or any other organization, and rodeos outside the United States and Canada, where animal cruelty laws are weaker, are more likely to be a cruel practice site. However, animal rights groups tend not to target these cases.
In popular culture
The largest state-of-the-art rodeo is a professional, commercial athletics contest held in climate-controlled stadiums, broadcasted by CBS Sports Network and other television networks.
Outside of the rodeo world itself, there is disagreement about what exactly the rodeo is. Professional competitors, for example, see the rodeo as a sport and call themselves professional athletes while also using a cowboy degree. Fans see the rodeo as a spectator sport with animals, having an aspect of parade and theater unlike other professional sports. Non-Westerners see this spectacle as an ancient but fascinating remnant of the Wild West while animal activists see the rodeo as a cruel Roman circus spectacle, or human fights against America.
Anthropologists who study rodeo and the surrounding culture have commented that it is "a mix of performance and contests," and the rodeo is far more expressive in combining these two aspects than trying to stand on one or the other. Rodeo's performance level allows procession and rituals that serve to "revitalize Old West spirit" while the contest level raises human-animal opposition that articulates nature's transformation and "dramatizes and perpetuates the conflict between the wild and the benign." "At its deepest level, the rodeo is essentially a ritual aimed at the dilemma of humanity in nature."
Rodeo is a popular topic in country-western music, such as the 1991 Garth Brooks hit single "Rodeo", and has also been featured in various movies, television programs and literature. Rodeo was a ballet score written by Aaron Copland in 1942, and Agnes de Mille's choreographed ballet, Rodeo was commissioned by Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1942 with a Copeland score. Country singer Chris Ledoux raced without a saddle and wrote many songs based on his experience. Rodeo has also been featured in a number of films, including 8 Seconds, Cowboy Up, The Longest Ride, and the Cowboy Way.
