Over 10,000 Kiwis have signed to support the continued existence and practice of rodeo in New Zealand but with the Government’s new Rodeo Code of Welfare consultation underway, we need every signature we can get.

Rodeo already operates under strict welfare rules. Help us make sure the people making these decisions hear from the communities who live it, not just the loudest critics.

Every signature counts. Every share reaches someone who hasn’t signed yet.
