SAFE Animal Squad
Every summer, gentle-natured animals are subjected to fear, distress, injury and death all for the sake of ‘entertainment.’
Despite the fact that rodeos are condemned both in New Zealand and internationally by veterinarians, animal welfare agencies and ex-rodeo riders, around 30 rodeo events occur every summer across the country.
Animals can sustain injuries such as torn ligaments, broken bones, bruising and internal damage. In some cases, these injuries are so severe the animals die or are killed on site.
During the 2022/2023 rodeo season, three animals died within the span of just three days.
