Please tell your friends in New York and especially in Putman county to let them know the bulls are not harmed and in fact enjoy the sport as much as the riders. That they live the life of luxury. Also please ask them what these animal rights people plan to do with the bulls? Remember "Animal's Right To Work-Freedom From Extinction!" By Cindy Meyers, Rodeo Attitude
