    THE Farrington family live and breathe all things rodeo. Kassie and husband Randy spend most weekends taking their son “the real cowboy” Kutter to rodeos across the state and beyond - where he competes professionally in a variety of events. So far he has taken part in well over 50 rodeos, collecting an array of prizes along the way. Despite the dangers of the sport, the thrill of the competition and cash prizes he can win is a trade off for the risks he takes. Kassie and Randy have received criticism for this, and not everyone in their families agree with the huge sacrifices they make. However, they’re determined to keep supporting Kutter so he can follow his dreams of being one of the greatest.

    There’s a huge difference between football and bull riding. Just as there is a big difference between helping your son become a rodeo star and helping your son become a brain surgeon. At seven years old, a child is unable to process just how dire the consequences of one bad ride could be. This is why children need parents to guide them and help them see the difference between safe and unsafe activities. Given that parents are supposed to keep their children safe and discourage risky, dangerous activities, it makes sense that these parents are being criticized for not only allowing their son, but also encouraging their son to put himself in harm’s way. If your son wanted to be the next Evel Knievel, would you let him attempt to jump over busses on a motorcycle too?

    it's dangerous for the kid, it's harmful and abusive to the bulls, there's literally no reason to carry on doing it.

Did you know that the federal Animal Welfare Act exempts rodeos from the protections it provides to animals. Some states exempt rodeos from their anti-cruelty statutes, while other states defer to clearly inadequate Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association regulations to judge whether animal cruelty has occurred in rodeos. They aren't always well regulated, and it's not always an ethical industry. Here is a link to my source:

      @@courtneyd5187 I'll explain, as I am around rodeo.
      These animals are bred specifically for this purpose. The calves that they use for roping are the toughest calves in the country. Not to mention rodeo livestock are the best treated livestock ever. Did you know that, contrary to popular belief, rodeo broncos only buck if they are happy? Sick/injured/ neglected/abused livestock refuse to preform. Also, rodeo livestock get injured way less than humans that play sports. The injury rate of rodeo animals is astronomically low. Only 0.05% of animals will ever have injuries (Obviously does not include natural illness). That means that one in 5,000 animals will get injured in their whole career. Rodeo riders get injured way more times than that. Almost 25% of tie down ropers will get injured during their careers! And over 90% of bull riders will have injuries! Nowadays, there are over 60 rules and regulations regarding humane animal care both in and out of the arena! I hope this clears up any concerns about animal welfare in rodeos! Here is a link to the PRCA's livestock rules if you want to further investigate:

      @@pitgroove.37_66 I appreciate the reply and using a source for your information. I don't appreciate you telling people they don't know what they are talking about. I get that you are a fan of rodeos, as I can see your multiple videos from rodeos in Idaho that you've attended. I am a certified, AZA, zookeeper, and my niche specialty is in livestock and mammals. I grew up on a farm with livestock, and currently care for exotic livestock. My comments regarding animals, especially livestock, aren't opinions. They are facts that you are receiving from a professional. Rodeos can present catastrophic safety risks for both animals and human participants. You can't speak for every rodeo and how they operate. Hopefully the ones in Idaho don't operate with the same regulations as some other states. The welfare of the animals completely depends on the individual state. Louisiana and Florida have several counties and cities that ban rodeos that use practices harmful to the animals. Chino Hills, Irvine, Laguna Woods, and Pasadena, California ban rodeos entirely. When animal regulations aren't considered, you run into issues like animals being injured in bucking events, horses and bulls breaking their legs and injuries to the skin are common from bucking straps. They receive bite wounds from other horses; kick wounds from over-crowded corrals; and tears and abrasions as a result of their contact with trailers and chutes. If the rodeo is following the 60+ guidelines that the PRCA placed, then there is definitely less safety risks to be concerned about. I hope this helps to add clarity to my comments, and I'm hoping not to see anymore comments from you stating that people don't know what they are talking about just because they have concern for the animals wellbeing that are forced to participate. If those kind of comments bother you that much, then I would suggest replying in a kinder way, just like you did with your first response to me. You are way more likely to sway the opinions of others if you approach them with kindness.

    I mean let’s be honest, in terms of possible serious injury, it’s not much worse than serious competitive gymnastics, figure skating, “traditional” horseback riding with jumps and stuff. The only difference is that we don’t usually see how dangerous those things are, bc we only see the one performance at a time, and the goal there is perfection, so it’s much more rare to actually witness. Olympic gymnasts are often 15 or 16; if you think they weren’t doing things that risked a broken neck by 8, you don’t know anything about gymnastics. And I’m sure there’s a lot of precaution and safety training with techniques and padding etc that we don’t see going into the finished product with rodeo training as well

    "I want to make a buck bigger then that bull right there" wonder where that comes from.
    The reason children don't do things like this is clear, they're less coordinated, and their minds aren't developed. Look at his walk. Maybe if he was older he wouldn't have been hurt so badly in so short a time.
    I understand what he wants to do and culture but safety of children always comes first.
    She made a good point about other kids playing football. Which is that parents have been getting away with not protecting their kids for sometime.
    She also treats the death of people in cars pretty poorly, and when bull riding is not as nessary as car riding.
    Children don't have to die now in work, and we fought that they wouldn't have to. A parent should never place their child in a place they don't have to be that kills them. God bless that little boy who lost his life. Consent is real. If we go around saying kids can consent to this it's just another of many legal attacks in children protection.
