\t<\/a>\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nIn the more than twenty years that SHARK has investigated and exposed the cruelty of rodeo, we have seen a great many editorials and columns against rodeo animal abuse, which is typically cloaked as \u201cWestern American Tradition\u201d by unethical corporate sponsors and clueless \u201creporters” looking for an easy story that won\u2019t stress their limited abilities.<\/p>\n
Rarely have we seen a more truthful column than this piece by Naomi Lakritz, a columnist for the Calgary Herald<\/em>. The obvious truths of Ms. Lakritz\u2019s column will be utterly lost on the narcissistic rodeo crowd, as their world is all about benefiting themselves, no matter the cost to the nonhuman victims. For those striving to do the right thing, however, Ms. Lakritz has crafted a thought-provoking piece well-worthy of consideration by any enlightened person.<\/p>\n
From the article:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
… the bottom line is these animals are still being used for sheer entertainment in events that can cause them traumatic injuries and death \u2014 and it is unnecessary for them to be subjected to this. Are we humans so hard up for entertainment that we must amuse ourselves by watching events that can cause animals to suffer and die?<\/p>\n
