Recent media attention surrounding the tragic death of Black Caviar has demonstrated that even the highest prizewinning horses ($7,953,936) do not get a dignified retirement. They are exploited until they drop dead in this greed driven industry.
Horse Racing Kills!
Join us to protest the Melbourne Cup outside Ascot Racecourse on the 5th November.
Horses endure whips, tongue ties and bits, forced to race beyond their limits, with an on-track fatality every two days, and thousands more horses sent to knackeries annually across Australia, it's time to end the animal cruelty and ban horse racing.
Please dress smart-casual - dressing up is encouraged.
Come prepared for the weather - bring a hat, sunscreen and water.
Meet on the corner or Raconteur Dr (near gate 6) at 9am or find us opposite Gate 4 or 6 if arriving late.
Signs and banners provided.
