Make Vets Mandatory at Rodeos

On Saturday 11 April at the Miriam Vale Rodeo in Central Queensland, a bucking horse suffered a catastrophic leg injury shortly after leaving the chute. An AnimalKIND volunteer documented the horrible incident.

After collapsing, the injured horse was restrained by several men with the crowd’s view of the horse quickly blocked. Over the loudspeaker, the announcer said a vet was “on its way.”

The horse was later loaded onto a float, removed from the arena, and at an unknown later time was killed.
