You Know, The REAL Rodeo Is Kinda Cruel, Too, Come To Think Of It
-
It's a common minor league baseball promotion, but the reaction to its scheduling in Hartford may signal that its days are numbered. We're talking about the monkey rodeo, specifically the "Cowboy Rodeo Monkey Show," in which monkeys dressed as cowboys ride dogs and chase rams. It took about a week after the Hartford Yard Goats (yes, that's the team's real name) announced the promotion to the cancellation, and, you know, the animal rights people have a point. That can't be fun for the dogs. Or the rams. The monkeys might enjoy the ride, though. (WFSB-TV/Hartford)
