Well, there are shades of gray, here. I would not call rodeo a "vile
activity". On the other hand, I *would* call bullfighting a "vile
activity". Is being a rodeo animal worse than pulling a plow through
a field all day? I would think not! How about race-horses? Is that
a cruel existence?
One could argue that all animals have to "pull their weight" in this
world, including humans, many of whom work their lives away in shitty
jobs, just so they can survive.
