Cheyenne Rodeo Announcer Caught Lying About Calf Injuries
Rodeo announcers, like rodeo people in general, are habitual liars. Rodeo announcer Justin McKee must have figured that he had nothing to worry about when he falsely claimed that an injured calf dragged out of the arena was the first injured calf of the 2007 Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.
Unfortunately for McKee, SHARK investigators caught every word, and had video documentation to prove that four calves had been dragged out of the very first round days earlier. That doesn't even include all the injured steers that were dragged out.
McKee was invited to correct his error, but so far there's no word from him. That's no surprise. That's just the way of rodeo. Say anything, then hide like Osama Bin Laden when exposed.
Learn the deadly facts about animal injuries and deaths in rodeos, and about the lies rodeo people tell to cover up the terrible truth.
On the bright side, in 2008 the Cheyenne Frontier Days committee promised to eliminate electric prods used on animals in chutes, and they stood by their promise. SHARK hopes that is a sign of more positive steps in the future.
