Racehorses suffering

Animal Aid | 29.03.2005 10:32 | Animal Liberation

Animal Aid has launched a powerful new 90-second web film about horse racing. Last week at the Cheltenham races, 3 horses died. The notorious Grand National race will take place this year on April 9th. 8 horses have been killed in this race in the last 8 years. We need your help to spread the word across the internet - to show people the truth behind horse racing's glamorous image.



The film is viewable at: www.animalaid.org.uk/racing/video.htm

Tackle the really important issues

Thousands of animal species become extinct every week due to humankind's reckless disregard for the environment. That's an entire SPECIES gone, dead for ever, no more of them, ever. No comparison in importance to your meagre cause.

right, you think racing is cruel? whatever. how long did it tak you to make up those number figures??? Horses die everyday. Farmer Jack was entered in the cheltenham but he died BEFORE!! he had a heart murmur, no one could have detected that, an it was not down to his racing career. if it was acruel sport, they wouldn't continue running it would they? and the pictures you show are sooo not a normal occurence. weather conditions cause falls, if the ground is too soft, and a sticky going, they will struggle too pull. and when the going is rough, they postpone the races.....ltrust me. i dont like racing, but i am willing to stick up for it on the gtrounds your takibng the same line opf approach you're all taking to hunting.
you'tre saying its for toffee nosed snobs who dont care for animals. wron.g
my horses are soooooooooooooo molly coddled its untrue, i take them hunting, and am about to launch into pony racing with my 14.2 connemara x THoROUGHBRED

all racers are TB's bred specifically to race, from a line of racers. and they dont spend their whol lives racing.

SO STOP INTERFERRING WITH WHAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE BELIEVE ME, YOU DONT KNOW JACK

have a nice day
