At California's Del Mar Race Track, the 10-year average is a horse death every 3 racing days. During the 2014 season, 16 horses died in just 31 racing days.  

Iration is a Santa Barbara-based reggae band slated to perform for Del Mar's Reggae Fest on Saturday, November 15th.  Iration has a campaign on their website called #allaboutluv. 

As a local animal activist who has seen the devastation at Del Mar Race Track, I feel it's important to make sure the performers scheduled are made aware of what is truly happening to the amazing horses that are forced to race. 

Horses begin training or already racing when their skeletal systems are still growing and unprepared to handle the pressures of running on a hard track at high speeds.

Many racehorses become addicted to drugs when their trainers and veterinarians give them drugs to keep them on the track when they shouldn't be racing. 

For each horse that is raced to death (an average of 375), thousands of thoroughbreds will be sent to a slaughterhouse without ever seeing a track.

Please join me in asking Iration not to support animal cruelty and cancel their performance at the Del Mar Race Track and be #allaboutluv for the horses too.
