Rodeos Rodeo events include such stunts as calf roping, steer wrestling, bareback horse and bull riding, saddle bronco riding, steer roping, and wild cow milking. People cram into arenas drawn by the desire to watch a micro-Wild West scene in which the cowboys tame the wild animals. In their natural environment, these animals are far gentler than the animals seen in the arena. The wild demeanors that we have come to expect from rodeos are induced by electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and bucking straps cinched tightly around horses' and bulls' abdomens. Over time, the bodies of these animals begin to deteriorate.
