CPR DEATHWATCH REPORT 2024
The Deathwatch report, meticulously compiled each year by the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses (CPR), shines a stark light on the tragedies inherent in horse racing.
While the racing industry often cites statistics to highlight safety improvements, such numbers mean little to the horses who suffer agonizing deaths. These animals, driven by instinct, often continue to run on shattered legs, enduring immense pain before the inevitable green screen is raised, and they are euthanised.
CPR’s dedication to exposing these heartbreaking realities is a vital contribution to the broader conversation about animal welfare in racing. Their work underscores the urgent need for change, whether through stricter safety measures, improved training practices, or a reexamination of the sport’s ethical foundations.
The Deathwatch report is a powerful reminder that the lives and suffering of these animals cannot be reduced to mere statistics. It calls on society to reflect on the true cost of horse racing and to advocate for more humane alternatives.
