TOO MANY HORSES DIE ON THE TRACK TO KEEP UP…
All one has to do is Google to see just how many horses have died on or at the track so far in 2023. We don’t have enough hours in the day to post them all.
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.
AND then you have those like horse trainer Gai Waterhouse - see video below - who states "Accidents happen in any sport".
MOHM: The difference when it comes to horse racing is that horses do not have a choice. Human athletes have a choice as to whether to train and compete, horses do NOT.
She seems to think that "People have become so weak and prissy now a days".
Well if it is "weak and prissy" to care about horses AND jockeys then we freely admit that we are "weak and prissy".
#MOHM NEEDS YOUR HELP!
We’ve been threatened by those in the horse racing industry and those who benefit from horse slaughter more times than we can count.
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.
