The Rodeo may be your idea of a fun time but there are some who oppose the methods used to put the show on. Friday night, some animal rights activists rallied at the rodeo to protest what they call serious abuses inflicted upon animals during the rodeo.
The activists are angry with the yearly events and want the public to know what's going on behind the scenes in regards to the treatment of animals.
"They don't buck because they're wild animals like most people believe they buck because of flank straps that go tightly around their abdomen or electrical shocks," Kelly Sloan, an animal activist at the protest said.
Through the protests, groups hope not only to end or change the way rodeo animals are treated, but also to educate the public about what is being done.
