In this February 28, 2015 photo, charros look on as a bull rolls after being brought down in the steer tailing event at a charreada in Mexico City. In the U.S., animal rights groups have criticized some charreria sports, including steer tailing and horse roping, saying they could injure the bulls or wild mares. Charro Fernando Medellin Leal says, “There may be an accident and the rider could be harmed or the animal could be harmed. But what we are looking for is that everything is done with technique, so that the animals are not harmed. We are not under any circumstance intending to mistreat or hurt the bulls”.
