Eric Mills: "Mexican-style rodeos (`charreadas') feature nine standard events, including three which involve the lassoing of running horses by the legs . . . and the equally brutal `steer tailing' event... Be aware that EVERY major animal welfare organization in the U.S. opposes all rodeos due to their inherent cruelty. The Rowell Ranch (HARD) deserves much credit for having the best rodeo animal welfare policy in the country." Join the discussion!
