ooo ok no we do not harm the animals some saw it is but trust me ive grown up in the rodeo world nd riding horses and training animals they love to buck some say we strap their ballls wrong soo wrong we use a flank strap kinda like hips on tha animal and it just gets snug not tight or they wouldent buck and as soon as we are bucked off or ride and get off they go into the out gate into a chute and the flank is took off and trhey are turned into a pen to eat or out to pasture to relax till the next time these animals are very expensive it would be very stupid to hurt your $60,000 investment
