Terrorised, Australian goats in outback New South Wales are used to pull carts carrying kids or adults, these terrified goats run into fences and sheds, they fall and are beaten and dragged to get them up, they end up bloodied and bruised,this sickening 'sport' is known as goat racing. It must be outlawed now. 

This cruel 'sport' has gone on for 30 years, that is 30 years too long for these abused goats, and now it MUST END!

An Australian Current Affair programme, Today Tonight, aired an extremely disturbing story exposing the town of Walgett in NSW, for using terrified goats to pull carts carrying children and adults, this sickening sport is called 'goat racing'. Terrified goats crash into each other and run into fences and sheds, they fall, and are kicked and dragged to get them back on their feet. This sport leaves goats battered and bruised and totally scared out of their minds.

Children, who could of course also be injured should not be exposed to this kind of cruelty, and should certainly not be taught that animal abuse is acceptable. Despite the outcry over this cruel 'sport', the town of Gatlett is planning to once again abuse and exploit terrified goats next year.
