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.

The True Cost of Dairy

Right now, throughout Aotearoa, thousands of newborn calves are being taken from their mothers, trucked off in the cold, and killed. Branded as disposable by-products of the dairy industry, they are fragile, voiceless, and deserve so much more.

Your compassion today can create a future where every animal is valued.
