RODEO EVENTS AND ANIMAL WELFARE

That this House commends the League Against Cruel Sports in bringing the enormous cruelty of rodeo to the attention of the British public; applauds the work of the Vancouver Humane Society in campaigning against rodeo; and calls on the Canadian government to take steps to end the immense cruelty to animals in events such as calf roping, which is practised at rodeos including the Calgary Stampede.
