Somewhere in North America there is another 'tradition' involving hurting animals. It's called a suicide run involving men riding horses along a course at full speed and ending with a run down a severely steep sandy slope straight into a river. Men & horses being injured is standard, being killed is a definate possiblity.
It's called the Omak Stampede and Suicide Race. Right here in the Pacific Northwest in Eastern Washington. It's a knucklebiter to watch. It's very exciting, but you wouldn't catch me doing that to myself or a horse.
