This is why you don’t mess with country people

That wasn’t what I’d call putting it on the ground, that was throwing it at your girlfriend/sister

Hey, this isn't Kentuck. One or the other.

 

[jerrob]

I thought they stayed in Michigan???

With Whitmer as governor, would you stay in Michigan?

Truth!

I’m sorry, this is Indiana, I should have said girlfriend/cousin! My fault!

Not his first rodeo. Apparently he is a veteran badger catcher

Meet O’Neill’s Badger-Snatching, Muskrat-Scruffing State Champ Wrestler

Whether's he's wrestling another high schooler or pulling a live badger out of a hole in Montana, O'Neill's Ty Rainforth is a one of a kind.

Badger and mink are the only two native mamals (as far as I know) to Indiana that I’ve not seen in the wild yet, at least as far as native and still populated to some extent anyway.

It’s just luck of the draw you haven’t seen a mink, they are plentiful, Badger on the other hand are fairly rare anymore. Still a viable population but barely. Habitat depletion and coyotes haven’t helped them (the young).

Nope. Seen them here for years.

Well they need to stay in Michigan, what with their funny accents and odd pronunciations!

Is it wrong that I was cheering for the badger?

Not at all, I do the same thing when I see a rodeo. Inflict needless pain and suffering on an animal and you get what ya get.

Mink seen here quite often. Around most any body of water, flowing water, etc.

If we ask the bull he’d probably rather be rode than eaten. The amount of money those rodeo animals bring in I can only imagine that 8 seconds is about all the mistreatment they receive for the week.

I’m sure there are exceptions, as there are with everything nothing is absolute.

I bet your chicken nuggets wish there was a chicken rodeo event.

That kid is bad ass.

Those animals know when it’s go time, I don’t understand why people think it’s so cruel, they aren’t being hurt at all.

Point noted.
By your rationale, let's ask the dog in the "break room" story if he'd rather be humanly dispatched and consumed or hung on a porch by a leash, stabbed multiple times and then stuffed in a trash can.
I'm not saying we should ban rodeos, I'm just saying I'm cheering for the animal.
