Get over yourself Carol. They're burgers on the hoof. Cattle drives and rodeo have been around much longer than you and will remain long after you're turned back to the dirt.

First they have to walk the hot & hard streets, then the animals suffer from rodeo. Every year without fail, animals are horribly and fatally injured in rodeo events. What a horrible thing to do to animals. And for such trivial ends.
