Demi Lovato Likes The Rodeo And Strong Cowboys

Demi Lovato was recently at a rodeo and she seemed to be having a very good time!

She tweeted:

"At the rodeo!!! So much fun!! These cowboys are so strong."

Don't get us wrong, Demi does a lot for charity, but it seems she doesn't know about the cruelty to animals that regularly happens at rodeos.

The HSUS explains what's wrong with rodeos:

"The HSUS opposes rodeos as they are commonly organized, since they typically cause torment and stress to animals; expose them to pain, injury, or even death; and encourage an insensitivity to and acceptance of the inhumane treatment of animals in the name of sport.

Accordingly, we oppose the use of devices such as electric prods, sharpened sticks, spurs, flank straps, and other rodeo equipment that cause animals to react violently, and we oppose bull riding, bronco riding, steer roping, calf roping, "wild horse racing," chuck wagon racing, steer tailing, and horse tripping."

We're assuming that shortly after her tweet there was a large fan response, explaining to her the cruelty of rodeos.

It's okay to fantasize about strong cowboys, just make sure they're not abusing animals when you do it.
