Where Lewiston, Utah
When 1993
Photographer James P. Blair

"The question is simple: Is it civilized to make sport of animals' fear? Maybe not. But rodeo is not very civilized in general. As a throwback to the frontier, it's close to the moral equivalent of war in a negative as well as a positive way: All the drama and try of it depends on an inevitable—and unfair—cost to both the humans and the animals. There is no way to untie that knot."

—Text from "Rodeos: Behind the Chutes," September 1999, National Geographic magazine
