Abusing animals is not entertainment

Regarding the letter from Bill and Denise Kennedy, I couldn't agree more. Whipping horses and other means to get them to buck, including possible irritants placed under the saddles, need to be outlawed. This is animal abuse. Not only did I not even think of attending any of these "events," I couldn't even look at any fair pictures published by the Daily Herald. Why anyone would find this entertaining is beyond me. Find something else to amuse you and leave animals out if it.
