In October 2019 ABC’s 7:30 program highlighted the routine slaughter of racehorses once they are disposed of, creating shockwaves across Australia and the world.
Their brutal retirement plan for horses had finally been exposed. However, 7:30 did not cover the full story – the routine abuse of horses during racing.
Through this short film, we will expose the reality of the day to day life of a horse used for racing, we will go deeper into the horrors of the slaughter investigation and take a look, one year on, at where things stand for them now.
Read the detailed report on Australian racehorse slaughter and take the pledge to never bet on or attend a horse race again.
#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.
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.
