Enraged protestors are picketing outside the Mid Northern Rodeo in Maungatapere in Northland today 9 January 2021
Last November, Whangarei District Court found Northland farmer Derek Robinson guilty of ill-treating animals.
Robinson was charged for using a live electric prodder on two distressed bulls at the event in 2016 and 2017.
Direct Animal Action Organiser Apollo Taito says it proves the cruelty at rodeos is historical and deliberate.
He says the cowboys need the animals to suffer and experience fear to run and buck the cowboys.
