    Bodacious was a muscular yellow Charbray bucking bull that weighed 1,900 pounds. This bull was ranked the most deadly and dangerous bull in the PRB. He was known for his explosive exit out of the chute. Also, his technique of kicking his back legs up, bringing his head to the ground, and slamming his head back crushing the riders’ faces. His bone crushing technique is what sent Tuff to the hospital. Tuff Hedeman got the lucky draw of choosing bodacious to ride in the finals. That bull has had only six other riders ride him and none of the six had lasted an eight second ride on this bull. That undefeated bull has sent every rider to the hospital, so Tuff knew he was up for a good ride. Tuff was ready to beat this bull and Bodacious was ready to show him that he was not an easy ride. During the ride Tuff said his first jump felt fine. Then Bodacious’ horn hit his face and he ended up getting slammed on the ground and his body went numb. He said he could not close his jaw so he knew it was broken. When he looked up at the audience they were all staring at him with terror in their eyes. They could not find the ambulance driver, so Tuff just sat down and watched the ride on the TV screen while he was waiting. When they got him into the ambulance, his eyes started swelling…

    Known to be inherently vicious and one of the only dogs to have locking jaw, were once one of America’s favourite dogs. Unpredictable and can never be trusted are just some more misconceptions of this well behaved dog. This breed is called a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls are not a breed but dogs put in to a category based on their appearances. Those who fall into this category should have a big head with a short, square muzzle, brindle in colour, large in size, muscular build, docked tails and many more characteristics. The thing is, some of these are not even common to Pit Bulls (Pit Bull University). Pit Bulls are the most misunderstood dogs in today’s society and things don’t seem to be lighting up. The breed should not be banned because it is not…

    During the eight centuries of the Spanish War of the Reconquest ( from 711-1492 A.D.), the Moors,knights, and Christians, not comfortable killing one another, would allow themselves (once in a while) a respite; but in order for them to not become bored, and also to release their “manly” instincts, they would all compete in this hunting expedition existing in the Iberian lands. Deer and other lax animals were easy prey, and while a cornered bear or boar would put up a fight, it was never a challenge for the valiant knights. However, the scenario was never the same when they faced the Iberian bull. This beast, with its unique noble bravery would, when provoked, rather die fighting than flee - transforming the hunt into a challenging exchange in which the bravest of warriors could bring their outermost courage. Perhaps a nobleman with a daring spirit thought about capturing several of these horned beasts, taking them to their village, and recreating the thrill of a hunt so that the knights would demonstrate their skill and win the admiration of the subjects. Thus, in a small corner of Medieval Spain, the beginning of what today is Spanish spectacle of bullfighting was created.…

    People label Pit Bulls as "Killer Machines.” Breed Specific Legislation, or BSL, are a set of laws that restricts or completely bans the breeds of a dog from an area. Pit bulls have been given a bad reputation because of all the publicity pit bulls have received. Many states of the U.S. are stuck between whether or not to ban the breed of pit bulls. People who agree with the BSL may have had a bad experience with dogs, or may fear that they’ll encounter an aggressive dog. Everyone needs to come to the realization that dogs behave a certain way due to treatment from their owners. People need to understand that the BSL is a form of breed profiling, in this case it discriminates against pit bulls. They also need to see that the label of, “Killer…

    I am a firm believer of Pit-bulls making good pets. They can be as vicious as a pup if raised correctly. Yes, they can and will be protective at times, but that is because they adore you, not because they are blood-thirsty beasts. Some states are passing laws to make these adorable, caring dogs illegal, which I stand against completely. If that should be the case, however, all dogs should be illegal, not just one breed.…
