66 horses have been killed at the Grand National Meeting since 2000, with many others injured and discarded. And for what? To dress up in a fancy outfit, drink champagne, and gamble on innocent animal lives? 

Iain Green, Director at Animal Aid posted:

“There are no words to express our disgust that another innocent animal has been killed in the name of ‘entertainment' and cold hard cash.

That this horse's final moments were spent in fear, agonising pain and surrounded by jeering crowds is nothing less than criminal. This gladiatorial disgrace should have been banned long ago.“

Together, we can stop this once and for all. 
Last push to achieve 150,000 signatures before we officially contact the UK government and key decision makers.

Thank you, as ever, for your compassion towards these innocent animals being exploited by the greedy. You are part of the revolution!
