A 17-year-old kid (or "woman", as the press prefers to call it) is lassoed and dragged by a horseman after she and other animal rights activists entered a corral to protest against the rodeo. According to the news article linked here, the Chilean Rodeo Federation's director "regretted what happened, but at the same time justified the attitude of the riders".
News report at El Mercurio, a Spanish-language newspaper in Chile, and here is the YouTube video link. Her name is Constance. From the YouTube description: the incident occurred on September 19, during the "Patriotic Celebration Festival" at the National Stadium. The video shows three young people entering the corral to peacefully protest animal abuse by the rodeo; then we see riders on horseback and rodeo men on foot lassoing one female protester later identified as a 17-year-old child.

“You just have to love countries where people can still SPEAK FREELY.”

Actually it is Team Roping where you have a header and heeler. Calf roping, or tie down roping as it is called now, only requires a single cowboy. Being a Heeler myself, I would love start a new sport of Lasso the Lib....
She was tresspassing and they had every right to quickly subdue her and throw her sorry a&& out!
Is Constance even from Chile or is she one of the global meddling Moonbats?
Anyone who sends a "child" into harm's way is to lowest form of life,
Is there a Chilean equivalent to yeehaw?
