Don't Back the Cruelty: Racing Video (courtesy of Animal Aid, UK)

Animal Aid: "Every year around 300 horses are raced to death in Britain. To drive home the reality of Thoroughbred horse suffering and death, Animal Aid has produced a powerful 90-second web film. Most people regard horse racing as a harmless sport in which the animals are willing participants who thoroughly enjoy the thrill. 'Don't Back the Cruelty' shows a series of real on-course equine deaths." Although this particular video shows racing over jumps, racing on the flat also claims a great many lives.

Collision and Death: Racing Video

Many horses die on the track every year as a result of fatal accidents, among other reasons. This video documents a horrible collision between two horses who had no possibility of preventing it. More cruel and unnecessary deaths, just for the benefit of the racing industry.

Please watch the videos, then help our campaign against the introduction of the racing industry in Israel.
