I take it the rodeo is just as cruel as spanish bullfighting? If so, can't really summon any sympathy.

To be fair rodeo bulls are never intentionally killed. They dont particularly like being ridden but at least they aren't being slowly stabbed to death.

That would be incorrect. Most animals in a rodeo are treated very well. It's hard to put on a rodeo with injured animals. I believe in Spanish bullfighting the bull is guaranteed to die a long, intentionally cruel death for the amusement of the spectators.

They are not injuring and killing the bull, but if you look carefully they are not just simply riding them, they put a rope around the back legs to make the bull uncomfortable and extra pissed off.
