SAFE slams animal welfare at forthcoming Waipukarau rodeo event

Animals will continue to be at risk of injury or death at the Waipukarau bucking bulls this weekend. The annual rodeo season last year saw four animals killed at events across the country. A horse was killed at last year’s Methven Rodeo, along with a horse and a bull at the Gisborne Rodeo, and a horse at the Grand Final Rodeo in North Canterbury.
