I am a passionate animal lover, and it deeply saddens me to witness the horrifying number of horse deaths occurring during The Grand National races. These noble animals are subjected to extreme conditions that put their lives at risk. Over the course of its history, The Grand National has been responsible for the deaths of over 200 horses (source: Animal Aid). This lethal “sport” is a blight to the respect and compassion we owe to our animal companions.

Public sentiment is clearly shifting. A survey conducted by Horse Welfare reported that 38% of the public think horse racing is 'morally unacceptable . ' Let's build on this momentum and bring an end to this harmful event once and for all.

Our goal is to safeguard the welfare of these animals and demonstrate that their lives matter. It's time that we re-evaluate our acceptance of practices that compromise the health and safety of these creatures for the sake of sport. Please, join us in calling for the prohibition of The Grand National due to its detrimental impact on horse welfare. Sign this petition to halt this event and deter the unnecessary deaths of these magnificent beings. Your signature can make a difference.
