C'mon CBC, show all the stampede

Post by bob vernon »

When the CBC shows the calf-roping event at the Calgary Stampede, they always let the calf run out of the picture just before the rope tightens and jerks him off his feet and lifts him up in the air. When I've been at rodeos, this is one of the sights of the event. If you notice the way it gets shown on TV, they never quite show the point where the calf gets flung around like a rag doll when the rope tightens. I want the whole event, not some tempered down version. Only a few get turned into 'early veal'.

I don't watch or go to stampede's or rodeo's, because I feel its animal cruelty. I attended IPE up until they had rodeo.

To each their own, I don't stop anyone else from going.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.
