Rodeo animal question

[Dantankerous]

 If a bear or a mountain lion attacks and/or kills a human Fish and Game officers will hunt it down and kill it.

 

If a dog turns violent and attacks and kills a person Animal Control will euthanize that dog.

 

If in the bull riding event a bull kills a competitor does that bull face the same end or does it get retired or does it keep working as a rodeo bull?

So in the case of "Taking Care of Business " the bull that killed Lane Frost . Now had Lane not been a World Champ it wouldn't have gotten the attention it did and may not have been retired .
 

The bull in question was named “Takin’ Care of Business,” or simply “T.C.B.” Owned by the Red Rock Rodeo Company, T.C.B. was a formidable force in the world of bull riding. Known for his strength, agility, and unpredictable nature, he was a force to be reckoned with. However, on that fateful day, T.C.B.’s actions would forever change the course of history.

During the rodeo, Frost successfully completed an impressive 8-second ride on T.C.B., thrilling the crowd with his skill and determination. However, as Frost dismounted, the bull turned and struck him with his horns, causing fatal injuries. The tragedy sent shockwaves through the rodeo community and left fans mourning the loss of a true legend.
In the aftermath of Frost’s death, many questions arose regarding the fate of T.C.B. Some called for the bull to be euthanized, believing that he was a dangerous animal that posed a threat to others. Others argued that T.C.B. was simply acting on instinct and should not be held responsible for the tragic accident. The debate sparked a larger conversation about the ethics of using animals in rodeo events and the responsibility of owners and organizers to ensure the safety of both riders and animals.
 Ultimately, the decision was made to retire T.C.B. from professional bull riding. Recognizing the potential danger he posed, the Red Rock Rodeo Company chose to remove him from competition and provide him with a peaceful retirement. T.C.B. was relocated to a ranch in Oklahoma, where he could live out the remainder of his days in a safe and comfortable environment.
