The issue

End Rodeo Cruelty: Protect Animals From Unnecessary Harm

It's time to put an end to the normalized cruelty and exploitation of animals in rodeos. Every year, hundreds of animals suffer severe injuries, even death due to the dangerous and stressful events they are forced to endure for the sake of entertainment.

While the Animal Welfare Act 1999 calls for rodeo participants to act responsibly and prioritize animal safety, this is not enough. The suffering continues because the law lacks the weight to truly protect these animals.

We call for an urgent amendment to the Act that bans rodeo events entirely. These shows are not sport, they are spectacles of fear and pain for innocent animals. Help us stop this outdated practice and stand up for these innocent animals.
