Though animal sports are some of the most adored sports in the world, they also bring an extreme amount of danger with them. Rodeo is one such sport that is filled with unpredictability at every step. With the presence of bulls, safety becomes an uncompromisable aspect of this sport. One should not be careless while around these magnificent but aggressive creatures.

On Saturday, a tragic incident unfolded at the Keath Killebrew Memorial Rodeo, where a bull coming from the stable brutally attacked a woman in a video that is going viral on the internet. The video features a group of cowboys as well. The most concerning part of the video is that the woman was attacked twice by the same bull.

Rodeo enthusiast Clay Edwards shared the video on his official Facebook page. In the video, a group of cowboys and a girl can be seen sitting in the middle of the rodeo arena. It seems like they were playing a round of cowboy poker, but their moment of fun takes a horrific turn in a jiffy. A bull came running from the stable and started running on the ground, and then he charged the group of cowboys sitting there. He started attacking them, and a girl sitting in the same group tried to escape the assault.

As soon as she stood up from her chair, the bull attacked her from behind and tossed her into the air. While two cowboys can be seen distracting the bull, but the bull takes another turn towards the girl and flips her again into the air. Then the two cowboys turned the bull’s focus towards themselves, and the woman managed to escape by the skin of her teeth. But what caught everyone’s attention was that they all saw the bull running towards them, but none of them moved from their places until he pounced on them. These bull attacks are raising concerns for the safety of the individuals involved in the sport.

Concerning Rodeo attacks

Not many days have passed since a girl sustained severe injuries when a bull charged the crowd at the Kununurra Rodeo in Western Australia. Last month, a rodeo clown was attacked by a bull while he was cheering the crowd. Apart from these two attacks, there are numerous such tragic incidents that take place every other day at a rodeo event.
