THINK RACING IS GLAMOROUS? THINK AGAIN!
Tinkookie died by snapping her leg at Rosehill in March 2024. She had a very short life, she wasn’t 5 years old yet.
Green shields are erected so the public do not see the extreme pain horses are in when they snap a leg.
Horses are a prey animal and it is imperative that they do not scream in pain or stay on the ground. Even with a leg that was totally shattered, Tintookie stands up. That is a survival mechanism hard-wired into horses.
Death Watch by the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses does an audit of racetrack deaths across Australia. It is an under-estimate because it does not count the deaths of horses in track work – horses that die other than during a race.
Horses are not collateral damage. Punting is not a harmless flutter.
The first key finding we learnt was most injuries are not accidents...
They are stress-related injuries which means they come on over time.
RACEHORSE DEATHWATCH REPORT
Deathwatch Report 2024 is the 11th annual report that summarises reported deaths of racehorses around Australia over the preceding twelve months. Research and production are by the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses (CPR).
#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.
