Hold On Tight, Cowboy, That Bull’s a Thoroughbred

Strange as it might seem at first blush, I really enjoy watching Professional Bull Riders - Hel, I enjoy watching the amateurs, too! It's an ancient sport, and I'm glad to see it's made a comeback - much more humane and enjoyable than so called "bull fighting", which is just an euphemism for "bull killing". No sport in that.

Bull breeders are transforming what started as a back-pasture hobby into a multimillion-dollar industry.
