WORTH A REPOST AFTER RECENT FINE ANNOUNCED
We spend a great deal of time and energy educating racing fans that when they bet, either on or off the track or support racing in any way, they contribute to the death of horses. Deaths on the track and even those horses who never make it to the track die too.
AND if they don’t die on the track, or during their racing career, there is a high probability that they will end up on a truck and shipped to be slaughtered for human consumption.
The racing industry has a word for their discards, they use the word “wastage“. Yes, really. The gorgeous horses they claim to love and respect are referred to as wastage when they are no longer wanted or needed.

But we are not going away.
We are going to persist until horse slaughter no longer exists for any purpose within Australia -- and until the horse racing industry makes drastic changes.
We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
