Chuck wagon races.....a thought..

[bucket]

Why don't they just take the inside fence out...


if you get pushed over the line as in the latest incident...the wagon that caused the push is disqualified....


Car races have the out fence but the inner fence for the most part isn't there and vehicles are allowed to go off safely as possible. ...

Just quit it already. Have we not evolved past that yet?

And if a person got killed it probably wouldn't change anything either.

I think some rodeo events are just ****en stupid. Calf roping for fun is one of them. There's a difference between doing it because it's necessary and doing it for shits and giggles.

I honestly feel sorry for the livestock.

.....to me it rates up there with MMA cage and ring fighting.

Barbaric shit...both of them.

Seriously? I grew up around wagons all my life. Got tired of it and moved on. But for any of you to judge and call it barbaric and cruel to animals is being ignorant to the fact for the amount of race horses given vastly extended lives doing what they are bred to do. It’d be no better than me telling you sod busters you’re poisoning us with your ****ing roundup.

Agree with Farma on the calf roping - That's the one that shouldn't be in the public eye in my opinion. Hard on the calves and not much of a sport. If you wan't to ride bulls, broncs or milk wild cows go right ahead.

Can’t imagine my neck being jerked like that. People get their jollys in very different ways! Just not my cup of tea.

Just my opinion Wilton, you don't have to agree. I would rather taste a horse and make it a staple if I liked it, than watch rodeo. Now how is that for barbaric?

Lol. I’ve never ate horse but they say it’s good. Kinda a sweet meat.

Brother was on the world equine association.They talked about the Chucks and how it could be made safer.Chucks are dangerous .they run ex race horses that were not meant to be be driven.Race horse guys hate it when their horses get pick up to pull a chuck wagon.In the end it was said maybe the chucks are too dangerous situation to put horses into.

Chuck’s not dangerous, he is just annoying , childish and hippocrital

Leave the rodeo people alone.
I wouldn't have half my land if there wasn't rodeo.
Or hunting, or golf or curling.
Or Florida.
