For the first time ever, the Queensland Government is working on a Rodeo Standards and Guidelines, which prompted Animal Liberation Queensland to ask Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Minister, Mark Furner, to ban calf roping.
Animal Liberation Queensland rodeo campaign director, Gayle DâArcy said, âif Minister Furner is fair dinkum about wanting high standards of animal welfare in Queensland, the decision to ban calf roping should be a no-brainerâ.
Mr DâArcy said the practice brutalises calves in the name of sport and entertainment, and itâs time to change.
âIn 2019 over 60000 people signed a petition asking for a Queensland ban, (and) tens of thousands of Queenslanders have emailed their state MPS and the Minister over the past couple of years,â he said.
