Buck The Rodeo

04 Jul 2006

Dallas Cowboys cheerleader/Baywatch babe Bonnie-Jill Laflin recently put on her denim daisy dukes—and not much else—to pose for PETA’s new provocative anti-rodeo ad that declares, “Nobody Likes an Eight-Second Ride—Buck the Rodeo.”

Quote Bonnie-Jill:

“I know sports, and I don’t consider beating up on helpless animals to be a sport,” says Bonnie-Jill, who has been to every Super Bowl since 1995. “If rodeo riders took a few jolts from a 9,000-volt hot-shot and had straps cinched around their groins, they’d be singing a different tune—mostly high notes.”

    I hate RODEO!
    I also believes that animals aren’t ours to be use for entertainment.
    It’s really breaks my heart to see the fact about animal cruelty.
    Because it’s a ridiculous reason!!
    So, i would to take real actions to stop it!!!!

    If you wouldn’t spend time in front of the camera and would get out and have some real fun that doesn’t involve sexual impurity and go to an actual rodeo, you’d see the fun in it. There’s nothing “fake” about riding a bull. You’d learn something besides being a SPOILT BRAT!

    Um…okay first of all….if the animals didn’t like to show off and buck or run or anything then they wouldnt. If you’d get off your @$$e$ and actually go out and watch a rodeo and talk to some people besides your tree hugger selves then you might see that rodeo is a way of life for some people and it is a sport….just like football or baseball.

    Oh and its not Animal Abuse

    THIS IS A LOAD OF BULL! rodeo is a way of life for aot of men and women of north america If any of you tree huggers actully did any real research you would find that not one flank strap is ever anywhere near a bull or horses genitals it is under the flank of the animal it does not hurt in anyway if it did the bull or bronc would not perform because of discomfert think about it if u had a rope around ur genitals would u kick n buck NO you try and get it off these bulls and broncs are breed to buck and perform like this in the rodeo arena! so actully do some real research talk to a rodeo cowboy its a way of life and thats not gonna be changed by some treehuger idiot who thinks thats its cruel IT’S NOTT

    I agree, buck the rodeo. It is a “sport” (and I use the term loosely) that is beyond its time. The only reason that people continue to participate is because they are only about 1/2 as smart as the animals.

    Play sports that involve other educated humans and see how well you do… and leave the animals for us to eat.

    Rodeo is for real cowboys and cowgirls! it is the worlds most dangerous sport and the only reason y’all loser tree huggers want to try and stop it is cause y’all wimps don’t have enough guts to get out there and take a risk! bull riders put their life on the line everytime they get in that chute! so if you want to try and stop our dreams… you don’t stand a chance! your gonna have to go through All the brave men and women who love rodeo!! GOOD LUCK(your gonna need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
    oh yeah… by the way… if y’all think puttin apicture of a half naked woman on this website is gonna help y’all… your DEFINATELY smokin’ too much hippy letuce! we can do the same to promote rodeo and how great it is!!!!!

    So wat would you say to me if I told you that I thought it was pointless to kick a F*ing ball around a feild and tackle each other over it? You don’t have the slightest idea what rodeo is! Those “straps around the groins” aren’ there to make the bull or horse buck get ur facts straight. There’s WAY more to rodeo than there ever will be to Football! Rodeo is an all year long sport every day, I don’t mis treat my animals believe me they are living better life styles than me! If I don’t treat them right I don’t rodeo period end.. So before you go off shooting your big mouth off maybe you should take a step into the rodeo world’s shoes first hand.. Go to a high school rodeo anyplace and ask around a bit to parents and contestants what it takes to be in the sport and you’ll have an eye opener at how much money is put into every aspect of it! And the mental/physical standards you have to be in. Just do us all a favor and either shut the F up or get ur facts straight! We don’t go around trashing out ur sports maybe u should try that urself and graduate from middle school.

    if it’s not animal cruelty how do you think they make the bulls so angry? flank straps, spurs and electric prods encourage the bull to buck and try to get the rider off as they run around terrified and try to escape what fun! this is their life and all they know. plus im sure the castration is wonderful just because they are bovines how about we castrate you? and tell you its not cruel. lets prod u and spur u and ride u around yeah it’ll be tons of fun too watch all right.

    and im sure those big corporate rodeos are nice and keeping their bulls “living lifestyles better then theirs” and ur “sport” is cruel and ur a heartless piece of shit who will go to hell so that makes it all worthwhile for people like me who are defending the animals who cant tell you to get ur fat ass of my fing back! though im sure they’re having a greatttt time and living a luxury life. especially when u see them coming out with the prods sticking out of their back ends. u keep trying to justify it for urself its okay

    i will tell ya’ll something right know. you have your life and i have mine. mine is rodeo and yours is to sit around bitch piss and moan about shit that has been going on for over a hundred years. have you ever thought that maybe your fucking ancestors were cowboys or cowgirls ya fucking hypocrit. you all give rodeo a bad name. these people are hard working, take their shirt off their backs, and just good all around people. my horse also lives and eats better than i do. it takes more talent to go and jump on a wild bull or bucking bronc than it is to shoot a fucking ball through a circle or run a football in for a touch down. really it don’t hurt the animals at all so get the fuck over yourself and eat a fucking steak and get the fuck on with your life ya fucking loser.

    i will tell ya right know go try it once and you will find out it is a lot harder to head and heal a steer than to hold on to a ball. any num nutted bastard can do that. you have to be pretty smart to work with cattle and horses if your not you could get killed or get someone else killed. so go eat a fucking steak and saddle a horse, get the fuck over yourself
