ABC NEWS THE FINAL RACE

Nov 30, 2020

I think they [the Australian racing industry] are purposely hiding this from the general public because if they were to know I don't think we would be getting 100,000 people going to the Melbourne Cup.

This is the sort of material that will shake the [Australian horse racing] industry to the core.

We're talking about destroying [slaughtering] horses on an industrial level.

CARO MELDRUM-HANNA, REPORTER: On a still winter’s night in Caboolture, Queensland, undercover cameras record a group of horses gated inside a series of holding pens.

#MOHM THREATENED?

We’ve been threatened by those in the horse racing industry and those who benefit from horse slaughter more times than we can count.

We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
