The pro-rodeo advocates refuse to define harm, but seem to be interpreting it as obvious and visible injury, this is a false interpretation. Harm is any physical damage, whether you can see it or not and whether it is minor or severe. The fact that the animals might be more resilient than others is not an excuse for physical abuse. You cannot deny that there is harm or hurt, even if in many cases it is minor or brief, it is still harm. Feel free to argue that the harm is minor and that death is rare, but stop trying to deceive others that there is NO harm.
If you don't understand what anyone in here has meant by 'harm', you're either retarded or intellectually dishonest. It has been used in countless contexts and examples. If you can't read between the lines and need a definition, like I said, go to dictionary.com.
I think 'harm' has been explained to the nth degree.
Make a valid point, and stop trying to loophole with these crap responses.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.
