Do the calfs actually every get injured? I haven't ever seen one get hurt, but I don't really frequent rodeos very often....
Sometimes yes. I steer wrestled a little in college and I actually had a roommate break a neck on a steer in the practice pen.
This reminds me of the Catholic lunacy of deciding that FISH somehow isn't MEAT on Fridays. I've always thought that was about as funny as the Muslims not eating pork, presumably because you could get sick from eating it about 2,000 years ago.
I'm Catholic but always laughed when people told me I couldn't eat a hamburger on Fridays during lent. I'd tell them I would have preferred a seafood platter but didn't have enough money on me. :hihi:
The cowboys have changed the way they rope calves by pitching the rope side-hand rather than over-head, which reduces the back-flips. Of course, it does not eliminate them. But still, when a calf is injured it is not deliberate. Neither the cowboys, the fans nor especially the stock contractors want to see animals hurt.
Neither Muslims nor Jews eat pork, probably because if pork is not cook well you can come down with a serious illness. I forget the name - Triciosis or something like that. At any rate, they discovered that after eating pork people often got sick, so they quit eating pork. Not really a bad idea. Once they discovered that cooking pork well eliminates the problem, the dietary restriction on pork was too inculcated into the Jewish culture to get rid of it.
Not really. But Louisiana can do nothing about bull fighting; it can do something about cockfighting.
