Rejected petition Petition to ban horse racing
More details
Horses don't like racing, it's cruel and isnt a sport, it's sad that so many horses suffer because of the neglect that comes with racing, from their riders to the stable hand. So many horses die or get injuries for physical and mentally for absolutely nothing other than human 'pleasure'. It's an absolutely disgusting "sport". The damage caused by racing is devastating not just psychologically but physically, it completely ruined their knees/ legs from being made to run miles excessively from such a young age. End the abuse now and sign the petition
