Animal activists call for the Queensland Premier and Agriculture Minister to ban the rodeo event of calf roping.
Calf roping in Rodeo remains permitted despite a 2016 University of Queensland scientific study showing calf roping causes the young animals significant stress.
More than 58 000 people have signed a petition calling for a ban on the event in Queensland, and another 14 000 have sent emails to their state MPs and the Agricultural Minister.
