Rest in Peace to the four horses that lost their lives at Cheltenham this year. Please share to get more supporters and push this petition. We can put an end to this cruel sport based on greed and profit.

Shallwehaveonemore (put down - "horror" fall at the hurdle)

Mindsmadeup (put down - fell at the fence in the lethal Cup Chase)

Born Patriot (put down - suffered fatal injuries due to a fall at the hurdle)

Ginto (put down - injured due to fall at hurdle)

All of these deaths have something in common... a) death as a result of horse racing, first and foremost; and b) HURDLES.

Chris Luffingham, director of external affairs at leading animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports, comments: “For any horse to lose its life in the pursuit of a ‘sport’ is an unnecessary tragedy but this sickening death toll points to the need for new and much tighter safety measures to be implemented – we are calling for an independent regulatory body to be created with horse welfare as its only concern. We will also be calling for the ban on the whip which forces horses to go beyond what they are comfortably able to do resulting in deaths, injuries and stress.”
