I hate PETA.
I also hate animal cruelty.
Go figure.

Nothing but a bunch of overreactive hippies banding together to shove their propaganda down my throat.

What is that actual purpose to roping a calf?

The reason why Calf Roping is a sport now is because in the old west or even now Ranchers have to do these sorts of things to get their calves tied down to give them medicine in the form of pills or a shot, and you have to get it done quick or else momma cow is going to come after you.
