Is bull riding cruel to animals?

Why do rodeo animals buck?
The flank, or “bucking,” strap or rope is tightly cinched around the animals’ abdomens, which causes them to “buck vigorously to try to rid themselves of the torment.”3 “Bucking horses often develop back problems from the repeated poundings they take from the cowboys,” Dr. Cordell Leif told the Denver Post.
Why do bulls go crazy in bull riding?

Do bull riders wear cups?
According to the sport’s website: “The flank strap never covers or goes around a bull’s genitals, and no sharp or foreign objects are ever placed inside the flank strap to agitate the animal.” Apparently, wanting a man off your back that badly is just a genetic gift. No protection! The riders don’t wear cups.
