Don’t Believe The Myths: The Horse Racing Industry Is Rotten To Its Core

Plant Based News • Apr 12, 2024
The article challenges the myths surrounding the horse racing industry and exposes the exploitation, cruelty, and greed at its core. Despite the industry's attempts to improve its image with initiatives like Horse PWR, the reality is grim. Racing horses face risks of death and injury on the track, with 175 horses killed in British racecourses just last year. The aftercare for retired racehorses is also insufficient, with many horses ending up in uncertain or exploitative situations.

Furthermore, the article reveals the shocking truth about racehorses being sent to slaughter, debunking the idea that it is a form of euthanasia. The industry's disregard for the welfare of horses, from birth to their final moments, is highlighted as a fundamental issue. The call to action is clear: the horse racing industry is in dire need of reform, with a focus on ending exploitation and cruelty towards these majestic animals.
