One of the most common and devastating injuries seen in rodeos is broken bones, particularly in the legs and ribs of horses and bulls. Dr. Tim Eastman, the event’s lead veterinarian, failed to report these injuries, despite being legally required to do so. The systematic underreporting of animal injuries at the event reflects the veterinarian’s compromised position and highlights the ongoing cruelty at the Salinas Rodeo, despite clear evidence and legal obligations. The injuries animals suffer in rodeos are a reminder of the cruelty embedded in these events. By choosing not to Support rodeos, individuals can take a stand against animal cruelty and advocate for a more compassionate approach to our interactions with animals.
