Do you know how they get the horses and bulls to kick?
If you look closely, you can see what is called a flank strap. This is a strap put around the lower abdomen that is pulled tight when the horse or bull leaves the chute. This is a very sensitive area on a horse's body and it has no alternative but to buck as a reflex action. On occasions the animals are so stressed out with this action against them that they rear up and collapse before leaving the chute.
As soon as the flank strap is taken off, the animals stop bucking
In the case of the bulls it puts pressure on the uretha.
Quite unnecessary animal cruelty....
