Gruesome injuries and even death face animals at the grand final rodeo in Taupō

April 3rd, 2021

The annual rodeo season concludes this weekend at the grand final rodeo in Taupō. Like last season, animals will be at risk of injury or death. Two animals died last rodeo season, both at ‘Mad Bull’ rodeo events in Otago. SAFE spokesperson Will Appelbe said the treatment of animals at rodeo events is appalling to most Kiwis.
