PRCA Rodeo Horse Abused, Injured at Illinois State Fair

lay off the vet!She is a good vet.Yeah it didnt look that bad from the stands i was there.I agree she was wrong but idk lay off her

i agreee with the beating part, but i never saw the head accually HIT the gate so hard... I am so sick of seeing and hearin' about all this ABUSE shit. If this is so dam bad, then why not outlaw it??? Rodeo is so bad...it should be stopped...and comeon, stickin his finger in its ear... maybe he just wanted to giv eit some ass afterwards.... knock this shit off....DAM!!!

They had to get the horse up if they left him down he could have panicked and got cast resulting in him breaking his back or neck. How can you see on the video if his face was injured most horses salivate from their mouth when being worked and I'm sure it's no different for broncs... I don't think rodeo horses are abused they don't look like unhealthy underfed cruelty cases I think you all have to open your eyes a small bit and see that SHARK once again is exaggerating.

prestonwasntmad: You get the horse up by opening the gate and allowing him to leave, which is actually what the rules call for. Horses certainly may salivate, but nothing like this. This horse was injured after being rammed into the gate.

That is wrong and I never noticed it before, Well one time I was at a rodeo and I was in it I saw a young filly buching in the arena then suddenly she came at the gate I was near and broke her neck, I hought she was knocked out but my dad told me that she was dead. My heart broke and soon found out that her mother died the same way the year before. I hope people will stop the abuse and try harder to help the amazing animals that are here today.

Illinois Dept of Ag "vets" are known for their blindness. They see large dollar bills but not curelty to horses or animals. The veterinary profession ought to do some housecleaning. Of course, they never will....

those guys that hitting the horse should get a bullet between there eyes......and also that guy with the robe!

This is totally disgusting. I bet I never support or attend another rodeo of any sort or their sponsors. To Shark I appreciate all your efforts and support you 100 % !

I stand by you Shark and if they ban your video's they must take a look at why. They are hiding the abuse. Hiding the suffering. You are right they are wrong. This video must be shown to PETA, Humane Society, on TV. This has to stop. Keep up the good work. I honor what you are doing.

Some horses do like to buck, but that is not stretching.... What I don't get is why they abuse the face and neck of the horse. They clearly know very little about what they're doing. Pestering a horses face only makes him throw his head around. It is stomach, flank and back pain that will make a horse buck. Bring on the day rodeo's are banned. Those horses all look like such wonderful, kind animals. The horses in these video aren't even remotely aggressive.
