It doesn't look like they hurt the animal, just tied up its legs.

And if you look, the rope is so loose, it's not really holding the steer - just sitting there in big loops lol. He was up as soon as he realized he wasn't held down.

But it's using animals for sport! Fun for humans. I eat meat and know we must kill for food. But animals feel pain and fear. I'm sure this poor animal is NOT having fun.

It is a sport, that's true, but there is more to it than just that. These cowboys do this for a living to keep the cattle healthy, it's a part of their every day life. As for the animals, those that are used in small rodeos like this one live much longer than those raised for beef, and are much healthier for it too.

Please read my far more detailed explanation of the sport in this link. photo titled Near miss - score one for the cows!

We don't need to kill for food. We do because it tastes good.
