Stop horse racing

Riding horses is so much fun, sitting on there backs as they gallop, jump, run, trot and walk. Have you ever been to a horse race and watch the horses racing? Let's find out the truth about how horse racing is cruel. Please go to the following link and watch the video created by PETA about horse racing https://youtu.be/5P-9RehItu0. Horses often start racing when they’re just 2 years old. Their bones are still growing and developing. Their bodies aren’t ready for the pressure of running at full speed on a hard track, so they can get injured more easily than older horses. Because they are forced to run so fast, a lot of horses get injured. But instead of letting them rest and recover from their injuries, many trainers and veterinarians give them drugs so they won’t feel the pain and can continue racing. This can cause their injuries to get even worse. Sometimes they’re also given illegal drugs or other stuff that isn’t good for them, for example snake venom and alcohol. Anything at all to try to make them run faster. Some horses are injured so badly that they can’t be healed, such as when their bones break or shatter. Horses are herd animals, they naturally live together in big groups, graze together in meadows, and roam around. In races, they spend up to 23 hours a day in a stall and are always being dragged and pulled around to different racetracks, so they don’t often get to enjoy some freedom or spend time with other horses. Any horses who don’t win races or who stop winning often get transported to Canada, Mexico, or Japan to be slaughtered for meat, even if they’re still young. Some are killed at just 5 or 6 years old, even though they could live to be 30 years old or more. This act of horse cruelty is very inhumane, despicable and cruel.
