Some vegans decided to protest at a rodeo and about 40 of them showed up and interrupted the dressage competition.
I wonder whose bright idea it was to get Argentinian cowboys who ride horses and carries whips angry.
It is doubly stupid to get them angry when you want people to quit eating meat and selling meat is what they do for a living.
As the protesters filled the main vent area, cowboys began riding into the area and they rounded up the protesters and forced them out through the gate.
The crowd left no doubt which side they were on as they cheered the cowboys after they had cleared the field.
No one was hurt but there were a lot of bruised egos as they all ran like frightened school girls from the arena.
The LiveLeak description of what happened is as follows:
This Saturday at La Exposición de Gandadería, – commonly known as Expo Rural – more than 40 vegan activists staged a peaceful protest interrupting a dressage contest.
The activists walked onto the central track, bearing posters with slogans against the exploitation of animals. Less than a minute later, a tense and violent altercation ensued: using their horses, This Saturday at La Exposición de Gandadería, – commonly known as Expo Rural – more than 40 vegan activists staged a peaceful protest interrupting a dressage contest.

Everybody knows you don’t mess with cowboys. You just don’t. Anybody who has ever seen “Yellowstone” knows that’s a fact.
Messing with cowboys is a great way to get obliterated. Men who ride horses and work on ranches are generally pretty tough.
They also generally make a living on meat sales. Being a vegan is bad for their business, and that’s not known to make them too happy.
