In every rodeo, probably every day somewhere in America.
Eww. That's animal cruelty.

I saw a documentary where people gutted live rattle snakes in before a rodeo show. Now that's cruelty.

Why? Surely, it has to be easier to gut them once they're dead? And I can't imagine killing them would be that hard.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

It was a show, and the crowd loved watching live rattlesnakes being slaughtered. ???

That's a good question actually. There might be an obsessive personality around some corner somewhere that will devote years of their lives to reach some sort of answer...

And by the time they reach their conclusion, I'll be long rotted in a dark alley somewhere that no one will find my body.

I don't like dark allies and recently had the sense to stay away from them. I do like allies, however, and the sort of info they provide ;D

Pity I don't have any. :(

I think I'll heed your advice. But for my, I think it will mostly just be pissed ex-girlfriends of my pissed ex-boyfriends... If you couldn't tell, I tend to piss people off. :D

Pissing people off is child's play...just like riding a sheep. ;D

No, riding sheep is animal abuse, pissing off people is a part of life. See the difference? ;)

I was trying to go for a play on words, but yes. I guess if sheep could understand, they would be pissed off and throw a sheepish tantrum till they become lame, just like my attempts at puns. ;D

Haha. :D I think it'd be pretty amusing to see a sheep throw a 'sheepish tantrum'.
