Put a stop to the grand national

Petition Details

Horses are put through painful torture just for our amusement. Many die or are extremely injured from falls, whipping to the point of blood being drawn. It is cruel and not needed. These poor creatures should not be put through this.

Additional Information

If you love animals, please do not support the Grand National or any other horse racing competitions.
To date, over 80 horses have died during Grand National events.
Even those who make it to ‘retirement’ are often sent to slaughter.
With around 1,000 ex race horses sent to slaughter every year in the U.K. alone.
You bet, they die.
