Animal welfare group SAFE has welcomed a proposed Member's Bill that could ban aspects of rodeo
16 February 2019
The Bill, brought forward by Green Party MP Gareth Hughes, aims to ban steer wrestling, calf rope and tie, and the use of flank straps.
Head of campaigns Marianne Macdonald says it's an opportunity to make progress on addressing rodeo cruelty.
She says the Government now faces a Bill that reflects parts of their pre-election promises to ban some of the cruellest aspects of rodeo.
