MikeofAustin,
Just for the record - nobody in rodeo crushes bull testicles. Its a bucking strap - it does nothing to their private parts, nor anything else.
I don't know who told you that bs, but, if you actually WATCH a bullride, you will see that their testicles are swinging in the breeze, just as nature put them there (as opposed to cutting them off so you can have a hamburger or a steak).
A bull will also buck without the strap - and they can count to 8 seconds. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, when they are not bucking for sport, they are treated like kings. Much better than some that don't make the circuits.
Add to that - if you take your average riding horse, put a saddle on him, and tighten up that back saddle girth, you have, in essence, a bucking strap, and quite often, your wonderful saddle horse will buck you to kingdom come.
What a bucking strap does, is go over the animals "ticklish" spot - its like someone poking you in the side where folks are ticklish - makes you jump - or, buck, as it were.
And, bulls will kill you just because you exist. (so will cows, by the way - just get around a cow and her newborn and see how fast you can run).
I (hubby and I) have dealt with them, and pigs, and sheep - for most of our lives - this isn't Disneyland.
So, unless you are a strict vegetarian, somebody is raising what you eat so that they can kill it. (and that would include eggs, since you are eating a potential unborn chicken), and they take their lives in their hands every single time they feed them, or vet them or anything else.
Riding a horse is no different than riding a bucking horse - and, I noticed - right away - that the rodeo vet was right there.(except that you ride a regular horse for much longer than 8 seconds). Which means whatever was going on with the horse was minor. Kind of like if you went and played golf with a hangnail. If an animal gets injured - really injured, they are pulled - even in the smallest local rodeos. Hate to say it, but those bucking animals are worth a whole lot more than any regular
animal. The folks that own them have hundreds of thousands of dollars in them. Much like racing horses - which, by the way, many racing horses bleed from their noses when they race.
