Rodeo to go ahead despite animal rights concerns

Animal rights campaigners aren't happy a rodeo is still going ahead in Warkworth.

Anti-rodeo protestor Lynn Charlton has been pushing for the Auckland Council to pass a bylaw banning rodeos outright, but it hasn't gained traction in time to stop tomorrow's event.

She says she has no time for the organiser's reassurances that animals aren't injured in the events.

Ms Charlton says animals get spurred, and kicked, while calves are often yanked off their feet while being roped.
