18. The bottom line, though, is rodeos are cruel.

You presented rodeo like it was an alternative to a cruel event. What I'm saying is that people who go to rodeos help perpetuate that sick form of "entertainment" and the brutality inherent in them, even if that is not their intention.

There are alternatives to attending them, and other ways for your grandson to have fun.

Yes, there are healthier dreams. Here is one example. Tennessee Gal Oct 2012 #1
