From this point on the rider has to try and stay on using only one hand. The time officially begins once the bull’s shoulders cross the gate’s plane. The riders will then signal when they are ready and the chute will open into the arena.
This allows the rider to get a good grip before the ride. This space is small enough that the bull can’t move too much. Here's some of our own footage showing a bull in action:Each bull ride begins in a “bucking chute.” The chute is like a small stall where the bull is enclosed on all sides except the top so the rider can get on.
They even made a video refuting the claim, which you can see here. One common assertion is that the bulls' testicles are tied in order to anger them and make them buck, a claim that PBR has flatly denied.
Contrary to popular myths, the bulls are not agitated in any way, particularly in the area of their genitals.” The care and treatment of PBR bulls is a top priority for our organization, and we operate under a zero tolerance policy for any mistreatment of an animal associated with the PBR. “PBR is fully committed to ensuring the health, safety, welfare and respect of the animal athletes in our sport. We sent this response to PBR, and a spokesperson responded with this: That's why every animal-protection organization, including PETA, opposes rodeos outright because of their inherent cruelty." Oversight of these events is minimal at best, as the federal Animal Welfare Act offers no protection to animals used in rodeos, and while some states prohibit rodeos, others exclude them from anti-cruelty statutes. Like all rodeos, Professional Bull Riders spectacles are violent events in which prey animals are terrorized and goaded into behaving frantically for crowds. Painful spurs and bucking straps are used to irritate normally docile cows and horses and provoke them into displaying "wild" behavior in order to make the "cowboys" look brave. PETA has criticized PBR in the past, and they sent this statement in response to our inquiry: We reached out to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for a statement, and shared this information with them. PBR dedicates a section of its official website to "Animal Welfare," where it shares specific information about how the bulls are treated regarding nutrition, exercise and travel conditions. Although PBR has been outspoken about the fact that it is not a "rodeo" event, it receives the same scrutiny that rodeos have gotten for decades. Of course, any sport that involves animals is destined to receive criticism from animal rights groups. PBR recruits stock contractors that breed and raise bulls that buck the hardest, resulting in challenging rides for the professional cowboys.
