Calling out the Mullewa Muster

Hon Amanda Dorn MLC speaks in the WA Parliament about the Mullewa Muster rodeo and the broader animal welfare concerns associated with rodeo events.

In this speech, Amanda discusses growing community concern about calf roping, bucking events and the use of animals for entertainment, highlighting scientific evidence, RSPCA WA's position, and changing public attitudes towards animal welfare.

She also raises questions about the use of taxpayer funding for events that involve practices many Western Australians find unacceptable. Animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing fear, stress and suffering.

This speech calls for a serious conversation about the future of rodeos in Western Australia and whether animal suffering should ever be considered entertainment.
