Stop horses dying unnecessarily at the annual Grand National horse race.
Every year horses die or have to be put down unnecessarily at The Grand National. Forcing horses to run at breakneck speed around a course deliberately designed to be hazardous is, as we've seen, a recipe for disaster. The length of this race should be reduced as well as the size of fences #safety
Those who don't suffer heart attacks – or sustain horrific injuries when they crash face-first onto the track – may develop debilitating medical conditions, including bleeding lungs and gastric ulcers. If they make it to "retirement" age, many are discarded like used betting slips – handed over to rescue charities, shot at stables, or sold for their flesh.
