Rule breaking more than just a pain in the neck

March 3rd, 2020

Footage captured by activists at the Urenui rodeo on Saturday shows a breach of the rodeo code of welfare. The footage which was passed onto SAFE yesterday shows a steer wrestling event that exceeds the rodeo code of welfare’s 30 second time limit. Steer wrestling is an event where a cowboy chases down a steer on horseback before wrestling the animal to the ground by twisting his head and neck.
