There aren't many sports where surviving for eight seconds is considered a success, but professional bull riding isn't your usual rough-and-tumble.
The global rise of western dramas like Yellowstone and 1883 has a growing legion of fans turning to rodeo sports for a new source of entertainment.
Bull riding is considered the most dangerous of them all: A potentially lethal dance between a cowboy and a 1,000 kilogram animal that's been specifically designed to toss them off.
But what exactly makes a bull buck?

    ​@@Crazy--Clownthat's a dog without a leash, except in this case adding the leash tells the bull to buck when the riders weight is added, and removing the leash tells the bull to stop. So like the video saya, this bull wears a leash for very short periods of time throughout its life, and spend most of its time enjoying the earth life.

    let's put it this way -- riders are "light enough" to the bull that they get thrown up to 10' in the air. (sorry --- 3 meters)

    There is no way a good bull only bucks for 3 minutes before he is retired. They are also used a ton in training not just competitions.

    Most of these bulls are quite smart. They are trained and know when they need to perform and that is when the gate is opened.

    Seems like they are pissed off and don't want a person on their back. So, if we're talking about cruel, do the bulls want someone on their back? Because if the answer is no....

    That’s like putting a teacup chihuahua on a persons back tho. It might be annoying but is it cruel to the person or is it the chihuaha who ends up being flung in the air and injured?

    If their health was your "number one priority" you wouldnt be scaring them and tying them and riding them in front if a jeering crowd. They buck because they want the riders off their back.

    I used to think so, but not anymore. It seems the bulls like doing their job. The bulls are treated better then the riders. The flank strap is there to make sure they buck straight and don't let them or the rider get hurt.

    I have to agree. I know she said it gets taken off right away afterwards, but she didn't say it was after each ride, or after the show is over? I can understand the show breeding them when the discover the ones that have characteristics that tend towards bucking, but I just find it a stretch to say that the bulls like it. I doubt any male of any species who has exposed ballz, would "like" going through that process... 😂

    So basically these animals are just bred to exploit for our entertainment. Like, why can’t humans just let animals live their life. It’s not just about the bucking. It’s about the whole lifestyle. Getting toted around place to place, night after night. The noise and pure STRESS of it all. I’ve watched other videos that show prods, and rope burning being used. It’s all abuse.

    The bulls work once a night. The flank strap is placed in the bucking chute, just tightly enough to stay put. The bull bucks, leaves the arena, and the flank strap is removed immediately. Then the bull jeads back to the corrals and kicks back again.
