Calf Scruffing - Quamby Rodeo

Ban Calf Scruffing

Calves are sweet, sensitive animals who do not deserve to be tormented by members of the public for the sake of 'entertainment'. In calf scruffing events, they are chased, have their tails pulled and are wrestled to the ground - it would be naive in the extreme to think this doesn't cause them distress. 

Boonah Show recently made the commendable decision to remove calf scruffing from all future shows. However, the event is still allowed to continue elsewhere. Animal Liberation Queensland volunteers recently attended Quamby Rodeo in Western Queensland, near Mount Isa. See ALQ’s footage of the calf scruffing event below.

In 2016, when the vast majority of Australians expects decent and respectful treatment of animals, calf scruffing no longer meets society’s expectations.  Any show society in Queensland that still holds this event should immediately reconsider its inclusion in their programs.  We are also urging the state government to ban this practice.

(If you don't live in Queensland, you can contact the Minister for Agriculture, Leanne Donaldson, and tell her why you would like to see this event banned. Send your email to [email protected])
