The rodeo is a series of events that pit human participants against terrifed animals trying to get away from something that is causing them fear, pain, and discomfort. The animals used include bulls, steers, calves, and horses. These animals have been trained to perform, nothing about the rodeo is natural. Animal injuries include internal organ damage, ripped tendons, broken backs, broken legs, and ripped tendons.
