I see pain in those eyes and feel their sadness. Yes, bull hooks are still in use.

I can't imagine causing pain to any animal. That is so sad, Dolores. A powerful photo. #12014979

Thank you Oscar, Judy and Terry...Every time I look at this, I wonder what happened to her. I said to the young man at the Bethlehem Fair, "Why are you using a bull hook?" He said (while demonstrating the technique on the animals genitalia), "See? It doesn't hurt." How does he know? And why is he feeling the need to use one if it's not to terrorize and control the animal by causing discomfort? Following day (when a radio station was broadcasting from the fairgrounds), I called the station to tell them a bull hook was being used on an innocent animal. I do not know the outcome. She had a place in my heart the day I saw her going around in endless circles so parents could ride their children and witnessing a bull hook in use. #12015167
