The way that they get ragdolled without causing the bull to lose any momentum is very humbling
it really puts into perspective the fact that the only real thing we have going for us is our tools... put us in front of a raging bull or an angry polar bear and we're simply nothing
these are powerful creatures
Cooperation is probably a big deal as well. Like yeah we have guns now, but for quite a while we were hunting in groups with spears, nets, etc.
That footage of a rodeo makes me feel so like what a mean-spirited thing to do
literally an animal cruelty competition
You say you like freedom, but what about when a bull achieves freedom?
now we see who earns their cowboy hat buckos
I feel like I've seen variations of this exact same "bull at a rodeo jumps fence and ragdolls some mfers" for like 30 years now, starting on the local equivalent of americas funniest home videos back then.
I mean you're inviting this to happen anyways given the whole situation but is everybody involved in running the animal cruelty pit just actually incapable of the genius idea of "higher fence"? Like this is so trivial to solve entirely and forever
I think part of it's so that people can hop over it with ease if the bull starts kicking their ass too hard.
They haven't figured out that bulls can jump too
Pathetic humans. No fence can hold me.
Having to listen to that fucking song must have been the last straw.
I know scinetifically speaking the whole "bulls attack red" thing is a myth but this is some pretty compelling anecdotal evidence.
Those humans fucked around
And then they found out
