Le 16 juin 2017, la Cour supérieure du Québec, a rendu un jugement autorisant le professeur de droit de l’Université de Montréal, Me Alain Roy, à documenter le traitement réservé aux êtres animaux utilisés lors des rodéos de Montréal et de St-Tite de l’été 2017. C’est ainsi qu’au cours des 20 rodéos des mois d’août et septembre, une équipe formée de trois représentants de Me Roy a tourné 135 heures de vidéos des activités de monte de chevaux et de taureaux, de terrassement des bouvillons, de prise de veaux au lasso et de courses entre barils.

RAPPORT D’ANALYSE DES DONNÉES COLLECTÉES LORS DES RODÉOS DE MONTRÉAL ET DE ST-TITE (août et septembre 2017)
ANALYTICAL REPORT ON DATA COLLECTED DURING MONTRÉAL AND ST-TITE RODÉOS (August and September 2017)
the bull panics in the departure chute and tries to jump out when the cowboy attempts to mount him.
the bull still resists the cowboy’s multiple attempts to mount it. He is bleeding from the impact of his muzzle against the walls of the departure chute, suffered during his agitation.
after several minutes of repeated attempts by the cowboy to mount the bull, the bull still resists the handling and tries once again to get out of the departure chute.
the same bull, who is once again moved to the adjacent departure chute, continues to resist the cowboy’s attempts to mount him and tries to get out of the departure chute. He does this even after the cowboy leaves and equipment has been removed from him, which suggests that he is still affected by another source of stress: very loud surrounding noise (the rodeo is an extremely noisy activity)? Bright lights and flashes? There are even fireworks at some point (see 6 min 8 s, 6 min 43 s when the bull jumps, 7:19).
once again, the same panicked bull tries to jump out of the departure chute.
the bull resists the cowboy’s manipulations and the multiple attempts to mount him
the bull, who had calmed down after the cowboy’s brief absence, starts to panic when the cowboy tries to mount him again
the bull, who had calmed down after the cowboy’s brief absence and who was moved to the adjacent departure chute, starts to panic when the cowboy tries to mount him again.
the same bull, who is once again moved to the adjacent departure chute, continues to panic even after the cowboy leaves and the equipment has been removed from him. This suggests that he is still affected by another source of stress: very loud surrounding noise (the rodeo is an extremely noisy activity)? Bright lights and flash? He tries to jump out of the departure chute twice
the same bull continues to panic and to try to jump out of the departure chute. He knocks his muzzle against the wall of the initial departure chute (blood can be observed around his right nostril, see Sony cam JJ 13-09-17 (53)).
