What is one of your Pet Peeves in life?

People who whinge and complain, year in year out about the same old thing and never do anything to change it, or help,themselves, if you try to help they come up with a problem for every answer....

Sure. Dragging calves to the ground by their necks shows lots of respect.
And what could possibly be more respectful than these morons causing a horse's death?

More respect:
Traditional cruelty & stupidity doesn't make it right.
Denial - it's not just a river in Egypt.

I'm furious !! Absolutely spitting feathers here ( and I could only bring myself to watch just one video) ... the absolute utter bilge being spouted about how they care for the horses as tho' it was ''one of their brothers''... oh yes, do you?.. do you stick 10,000 volts into your brother everytime you want to see him dance... ? :mad::mad: thanks for bringing that to our attention @win231 , everybody in the world needs to know what's happening with these rodeo horses..
 

I detest TV ads, we always switch the sound off on the rare occasions we watch commercial TV. Thank goodness for the TV licence fee, which means we can watch BBC TV ad free.

I only posted the tamer videos; there are much worse ones that would be too upsetting.
What is an absolutely outrage is how people will think nothing of causing pain & death to animals for "Entertainment" or "Tradition" as long as there is profit in it. It speaks volumes about the human species - and those who enjoy it.
 
"If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." Rom 12:18

In years past it seems that I was constantly "peeved" (i.e., angered, irritated) by the behavior of others. With age, I came to realize that my anger and combativeness was taking a toll on me while doing nothing to change the behavior that caused it.

These days, I try, with some success, to be more understanding. I find I can often look back at times in my life when I did, or could easily have done, similar annoying things. And as noted by others above, who am I to judge until I've walked in the other person's shoes.

I'm still not always completely successful, but with the Lord's help I find I'm more understanding and far less "peevish".

If you walk a mile in someone else's shoes you will be a mile away and you will have his shoes, so don't do it. LOL.

One thing for sure, you definitely couldn't handle visiting a cattle or horse ranch! Ever heard of branding or doctoring of cattle, even calves? A cowboy doesn't just run up, grab them and do that. Ever broke a horse to ride? Heck, when I lived on a hog farm, we had to put rings in small pigs noises, so they wouldn't root-up the property. And, to hear them squeal! There are some rodeo contestants, that depend on rodeo for their income, they would have a few words to say to you.

Anyway, like already stated, rodeo will never stop and I guess there are tons of folks in the U.S. that completely stupid for attending and cheering on a contestant that gets a great score or time.

Oh well, you have to contend with us, and other things in life that are insane to you, and we have to contend (ignore) people like you. Both fine.
 
Barking dogs are horrible, especially the yappy small ones, which I can't stand. Our former neighbours had a ghastly little creature which yapped on a regular basis, I used to feel quite murderous if it disturbed me at night. It was a relief when they moved away. No one close by has any dogs thank goodness.

Holly, don't YOU get me started now! I was involved with pro-rodeo for years and things happen at a rodeo. How much livestock have you handled in your life? Have you, or should I say, could you, watch how any kind of livestock is handled? Rodeo stock is cared for great, much, much better than some parents care for their children. How's that? Rodeo livestock is fed "top of the line" food and terrific Vet care. There are children in the world that don't get that at all.
 
Older folks that just complain, complain, complain. Lets face it, getting old isn't easy, so we might as well seek the sunshine while we can. Tend to distance myself from chronic complainers, in person or online. Love the oldsters with the upbeat attitudes and interests though. Love to be around them.

I can’t believe I’m reading this. Instead of a normal response of outrage to obvious animal abuse, you try and make us feel guilty by not being ‘tough enough’ to handle it?

That’s just SICK, extremely selfish and outrageously CRUEL!

Now you’re blaming US citizens for being stupid by attending and cheering on contestants that do well?

This doesn’t even make sense. So it’s the audiences who are wrong and at fault for this utterly barbaric sport ???

WTF is wrong with you CR?

Oh well for people who don’t like animals being used and tortured for entertainment??????😱

Mind boggling! There’s something WRONG with people who don’t JUDGE and condemn this! 🤬🤬🤬
 
Animals of other species are there for human use, however being cruel to them as a form of entertainment is not on, imo.
