I was watching Today tonight, when i saw my Hometown Shame...

A buisness man who iv'e had first hand dealings with and who has a reputation in Bendigo has been entering his Kids into Rodeo's to compete in bullriding.
Hes sons Dakota and Taylor are now aged 4 and Almost 7. Theyve been braught up in the Rodeo scene all their lives from there older brother competing, and there father Dave in Roping and riding. They have there own Mechanical bull that they love to ride, and now there dads entering them into live rodeos (without the rodeo comittee knowing... he gets away with it because he runs the rodeos and makes hes own rules).

So did anyone else see the footage of the ids riding on the news tonight, and what are your thaughts...?

Personally i thaught it was discusting, the kids were clearley distressed and have been pushed into doing it by there father...

I suppose its like any other sport where the parents are hoping for there kids to achieve goals in a sporting career, but c'mon, these are 4 year olds, stears and bulls...

Sometimes kids shoudl be kids, and when there little devaloping bodys have matured and there brains are old enough to make up there own minds on what they want to do.

BUT... what do you think?
