Is Rodeo Ethical? Or Are Rodeos Cruel?

I just published my first book, and it talks about rodeos a lot. So the question "Are Rodeos Cruel?" has been showing up a lot for me lately. Hopefully I address the base thought process behind this question thoroughly in this video.

I got some stats wrong by an order of magnitude when recording. I found a horse racing stat that showed a .24% injury rate, but when I examined it more closely after recording, I realized that it wasn't an injury rate, it was a fatality rate. And I had misplaced the decimal, so it was actually 2.4%! 2.4% fatality rate! The injury rate is even higher! Basically, horse races are just absolutely terrible compared to everything else discussed in this video.
