Thank you so much to Direct Animal Action for organising events to ban rodeos around New Zealand. Please keep your diaries clear this coming Saturday 9th January and also Waitangi Day (6th February) to be part of them. Let us know if you are coming from Auckland so we can arrange carpooling. For more information about the peaceful demonstrations, please go to https://www.facebook.com/events/1005778019482928/
Many dedicated Animal Re-homing volunteers and supporters faced the stormy weather after a late night on New Year’s Eve and still rolled out of bed the next day to be part of a rodeo demonstration in Warkworth. Thankfully the cruel event was cancelled, but we went ahead with a photo shoot at the showgrounds. Some Animal Re-homing volunteers are pictured below at a cafe afterwards.
