I am deeply moved to start this petition due to the distressing levels of horse mortality in the Grand National Race. As a compassionate testimony to the well-being of these noble creatures, it shakes me to the core seeing horses losing their lives in the name of sport. The Grand National Race, celebrated for its thrill, has a darker side that cannot be overlooked. Research from the British Horseracing Authority reveals that between 1994 and 2018, over 200 horses lost their lives on British racecourses, a considerable number of them at the Grand National. Their deaths are not merely statistics; they reflect real lives cut short. This petition seeks to put a stop to the Grand National Race, thereby stemming the unnecessary loss of equine life. It is time to stand up for welfare over entertainment, compassion over tradition. Please join us in this cause and sign this petition, urging for the banning of the Grand National Race. Let us be a voice for the voiceless.
